Started the process to convert Berdan to Boxer primed cases. 

It work is a bit tedious, but once I set up a production run, it will go faster. 

I had no trouble drilling the hole thru the center of the Berdan anvil. The frustrating part was getting the depth set right so as to drill thru the anvil, but not the spent primer. These primers are crimped in place, and many times, the recapping pin punches a hole thru the spent primer. 

Once hole is drilled and primer is removed remaining steps are:

Clean the remainder of the anvil off with a pocket depth uniformer
Chamfer the enlarged pocket opening with a case mouth chamfer tool
Press the bushing in using arbor press
Trim the bushing flush (if necessary) with the case head with L E Wilson case trimmer 
Ream/chamfer the bushing with a LR primer pocket chamfer tool held in the LE Wilson trimmer
