Berdan primed 7.62x51?

So, I'd like to get some Berdan primed ammo in 7.62x51. Brass cased.

Can anyone tell me which ones they are? South African? Radway green?

Thanks.

I dont know what ammo is, but can I ask why you would specifically seek out berdan primed ammo?

Maybe he has a brass thief that he wants some payback on.

Nah. Going to be shooting it through a firearm that pretty much ruins the brass anyways and in an area where recovering the brass is problematic.

I used to shoot some sort of foreign surplus stuff years ago in my hK91 for the same reason. I just can't seem to remember which stuff it was.

Thanks, jerrymrc. [Beer]

I'd love to save the brass for you but I will probably only find a small percentage of it and it will most likely have a massive dent right in the side of the case.

Probably only worth the price of scrap.

Yep, SA, Berdan. Want to sell the brass? And the other SA is marked M1A2 on the box. I liked it much better than the R1M1. Box and HS.

Just like an AK? still good but a little tweak on the ejector will cure that. http://i884.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps81b1f558.jpg

.308 and X39 would be great. I am getting ready to do a run of .308 and later the X39. Thanks!
