[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 1873734, member: 807"] The problem with converting 7.62X54 is the large berdan pocket. There is no boxer primer that will fit in the pocket even with swaging the surrounding metal into the pocket. If you find some with the smaller primer pocket, it is possible to use a long center drill and drill out the flash hole through the berdan anvil by drilling from the inside. Some guys I have talked with say they drill out the center of the existing berdan promer, leaving the outside wall of the old primer still in the pocket. They then use a pocket swage to enlarge the opening in the primer to accept a boxer primer. Depending on the size of the old berdan primer, they either use a large pistol or small rifle primer. The large rifle primer is too tall and will extemd past the case head. I haven't done the drilling out of the center of the promer yet, but it is certainly doable... Blitzfike [/QUOTE]
