WTB Berdan Primers for ShotGun Shells

22horn-fan · September 20, 2007, 01:57 AM

Looking for Berdan Primers to fit in some Brass Shotgun Shells.

I received 5 boxes of 16 gauge brass shotgun shells and need to find some Berdan Primers for them.

the primers are about .254 dia and .100 thick.

from reading some articles on the meb I need a # 58 Primer sold by Magtech or CBC

I called Magtech and they do not carry them anymore.

does anyone have a good source for Berdan Primers

Is the Old Western Scrounger still in business? Dangerous Dave, the proprietor, had a wealth of knowledge on berdan priming when I spoke to him ~two decades ago. They carried every berdan primer conceivable, at a price.

Haven't seen their advertising lately, though.

I bought my Berdan rifle primers from Brassmanbrass, I don't know if he has the size you want. He doesnt list any primers on his website so you would have to call, if he doesn't, maybe he could point you in the right direction.
