    swage primer pocket with rcbs large primer pocket swager


    uniform primer pocket with rcbs large primer pocket uniformer

    Full length resize for first time, and load as usual. One thing is that you need to put a drop of superglue in with the large rifle primer to keep it there. i also don't use a priming tool to put it in as it goes in by hand.

    Where do you get the Berdan case modifier? I currently decap hydraulically, then manually remove the boxer primer's anvil and then keep this "slightly smaller berdan primer" in place with superglue like you do. Hydraulic decapping is unpleasant in winter, and the anvil removal is onerous and of course introduce an additional measure of risk, so I wont mind a better way...

    How available are Berdan primers? And do those Berdan primer decapping tools work?
