I came across a thread on Cast Boolits earlier today regarding steel case .223 rounds and reloading. Apparently, when the Russian ammo companies ie, Wolf, Herters, Tula, Etc stopped using the lacquer coating, they stopped Berdan priming as well. I didn't believe it so I just went downstairs and de-capped a steel case I had laying around.
Believe it or not, it's boxer primed. I have read for years people decapping and reloading traditional steel cased ammo that's Berdan primed. I think I may give it a try and see if I blow my face off.
Here's some pics and a link to the thread on CastBoolits.com
