"...Berdan primed..." No, thanks.

The good old days of cheap surplus is over. At .50 + cps, the surplus just loses any advantage for me.

I assume he prefers reloadable brass. Well, easily reloadable brass anyways.

I haven't seen any difference with reliability or firing between the two.

He scared me LOL. I have purchased alot of this ammo over the years.

No real advantage of this stuff over ZQI. I'm not paying more than new ammo for surplus!

Shot alot of it in my youth. It's some very good Ball Ammo. Even though I'm pretty set with 7.62 I wouldn't mind some of that. My seasonal job it fixing to start & I'll be getting some once I get paid if it's still around.

"RCBS does not recommend using this with crimped-in primers (military crimp)."

Decapping is just part. You also need new berdan primers or you have to modify each individual case to accept standard (or remove anvil from each primer). Lots of work reloading and useful to know how in SHTF situation, but not practical any other time.
