Downforce Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 I need to reload 7.62x54R brass as shotshells for my 7.62 shotgun (yes I know) and whilst I have 7.62x54R brass it’s Berdan primed. Happy to go either direction of; a) reloading with the pain of Berdan with the brass I have b) switch to Boxer primed Russian 7.62x54R cases I understand they exist but are few and far I know this is a weird request for something a bit of a corner case Thanks D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cervusman Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Wouldn’t it be easier to get 303 cases with boxer primers, they have been used for years to make 410 cartridges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windswept Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Have you tried Kranks? I know a few people who use a 7.62x54r but it will be a while before I see them again. No idea what primers PPU would use either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
