I don't recall how long it took them to catch on, but the Army started issuing broken cartridge extractors before they "modernized" to brass cases.
There are youtubes out there on how to convert the good quality but Berdan primed 7.5 Swiss cases to Boxer. Kind of a kluge, with the anvil gone, the primer pocket is just slightly larger than .210" so the process includes peening the edge of the pocket to hold a Large Rifle primer.
Trivia: Norma had "Re" in the headstamp for Reloadable back when Boxer primers were unusual in European ammo.
