Extracting berdan primers courtesy of Rifleman Dec 51

[RJW NZ]

I found this diagram in Dec 51 rifleman. Its a way of extracting berdan primers using a worn out breech end of a 303 barrel. Seems we should have kept all that brass after all. If this isn't readable perhaps there's a way Badger and friends could use a copy direct from me and make it more clear.

Hello gents, nice new handsome theme!
I tried the photo up loader but it won't connect to my desktop, the website section is alive but not the other bit.

Maybe I should cancel this post, this clever new program just brought up 5 other threads related to berdan, all of whom seem tho think getting berdans out of the brass isn't the issue, the problem really is that there's no replacement primers to be had.

That's OK You made me figure out that I had to scroll down to see the "simliar threads" list below. Gonna be a learning curve here...hopefully a steep one!

And, yah, FINDING primers of Berdan is the real trick, esp. the huge British size.
