Is there any way that we can insert Boxer primers in Berdan primed military brass???
 
No.

Not without modifying the Berdan primer pocket to remove the anvil from the pocket.

Which is more work then it is worth.

Then there is the little detail that American Boxer primers are a different size then Berdan metric sizes.

But I see you are in Asia, and I have no idea what you can get hold of there.

Here is a good read on Berdan primer sizes.

Thanks rc.
Gone through the article, I am leaving on a tour de loading to the places where people reload most probably in March. Will let you know what I can get hold of.
Right now I am just swapping FMJs with BTSP, projectiles only.
 
I have done that with 303 BRITISH and 7.62X54 R to make passable hunting ammo. You can remove the propellant, weigh it, record the weight, and put it into a container and average out the recorded charges--then load them all with the same charge to get a more consistent velocity.
 
@0207,,Hunters all over the world think alike,, I am also following similar procedure.;)
