It's my understanding that one can reload berdan printed cases. I believe RCBS makes a berdan de-priming tool.
That being said, I'm not sure of the supply of berdan primers. |

I remember reading about depriming berdan cases with water, then removing the anvil from a boxer primer and repriming. That was about the same time people were making .223 bullets from .22lr casings and lead wire.

Nice.
It's as bad (fun) as fussing with an old favorite car. |

Is there a source for those brass and bullets?
I have a wonderful old 6.5 I’d like to load for. |

That is about as handsome as a gun can get. To have it shoot as good as it looks is the icing on the cake.

It's a bolt action , not a semi auto bullet hose.
Shoot up the old cases you have (and scrap them) Then bite the bullet and buy a couple of hundred pieces of new brass. Pretty much a lifetime supply . Never owned a 6.5 but I always thought I would grab one up if I came across a decent shape/price option |

Very beautiful.
Congratulations. If it were mine, I’d try to find a more period correct scope. Just because. |

Very cool and in an awesome chambering!
I love fully stocked rifles. I do find it starkly different in appearance when a full stock has no irons. Clean but different. I wanted a CZ full stock 550 in 6.5x55 but I bought something else ahead of it and weeks later CZ dropped the item publically. |
