Old Western Scrounger used to have them. www.ows-ammo.com I didn't find them on the website, but it would be worth calling to see if they have them or know where to get them.
I checked around the net and found this site. I believe it's in located in NZ so chances are it would be unlikely to be able to order.
Point being, they are available for loading and if you find the right distributor, who knows? The bottom line is, it won't be cheap.
I just received my Prvi Partizan brass. The Lake city has held up really well also. This berdan primer thing is more of that urge to do something new, though, Ill wait till I see some pop up at a gunshow. I saw some PMC LR's about a year ago, 2000 or so. I was gifted 500 semi rimmed cases and turned the rims down and prepped them. Seems like waste to trash them.
Old Western Scrounger hasn't had Berdan primers in years. He still finds odd lots at auctions and etc. but he has no steady supply anymore.
These things are common in Europe, Wolf makes them. Why nobody importing at least the common ones? You can still buy those silly Etronics ones for electric-ignition Remington rifles. I would imagine not much demand for those.
Ok, so it is a big pain in the ass. lol. But, it can be done, and i imagine if you shot some obscure caliber, or had a LOT of berdan brass, it'd be worth it.
