Doc,
IMHO, the only good die Lee makes is their collett set. Clean and polish the innards before use.
You can pop a Berdan primer out by setting the case over a primer-size hole, filling the case with water, putting a dowel that will barely fit into the case mouth, and smacking lustily with a mallet. Usually.
RCBS sells a tool for their removal that sort of prys 'em out. Or they used to. I don't expect they sold many.
Don't worry too much about Berdan, except for the Aluminum cases from Speer, there aren't all that many. A quick look down the mouth will generally show you "snakeyes", so you toss it...

The Bill of Rights, and the Golden Rule are enough for civilized behavior. The rest is window dressing. Shoot carefully, swifter...
