Note, there are three sizes of Berdan Large Rifle primers,.217, .250 and .254; so you need to be sure you get cases that match the diameter of your primers. The other issue is getting the right size primer punch for seating the primer. I have a fair bit of spent .303 Berdan cases. PM me. |

The PMC primers are .217”
I haven’t found a de priming method or tool yet so I am not sure I will even try it.
I am still trying to figure out the cost to salvage these 1000 primers. Are any of your cases .217 primed?
