Found this to be interesting and educational.

Heard it could be done.
Also heard it was too much a pain in the ass to bother with.
Much like reloading .22lr cases.

Oh hell no.

Yes it would definitely be a last resort for me. However, its good to know.

What a PIA of the first order. Seems like a big waste of time also. Besides, Tul Ammo is cheap enough to begin with. Anyway, to each his own. Peace!

I looked into it once. I think I even have a Berdan de-capping tool around here somewhere. I wasn't going to reload steel case though. I was thinking about 7.5x55 Swiss because the GP11 is such beautiful brass. But I was going to reload with Berdan primers (before they became unobtainium).

Memo to self:

Step 1. Watch video on reloading Berdan cases.

Step 2. Buy factory ammo.

Just saying....
