    Default Berdan primers

    UPS just dropped off my supply of Berdan 7.62N primers for the next shooting season. Whatta Hobby!

    I suppose berdan primers have slightly better ignition due to 2 vent holes in the cases vs one that are boxer primed but never heard of this being an issue, so, just curious, why do you bother with the extra trouble involving the "decaping" process and ordering of these type primers?

    I do it with 7.5 swiss because the brass is so good .

    I have a Swiss and some surplus Swiss ammo. Never had it to the range. So when I get it out this spring, I may find I have berdan primers?

    I find .308 German surplus berdan brass does a much better job for me than LC accuracy wise. More consistent from my prospective. Whatta Hobby!
