I like slow powders in the 4831 area, and 165 Remington SP's, all in GP11 brass with Russian berdan primers.

Welcome aboard NuJudge. I'm kinda fond of 4831 myself.
Are you not loading any of the 7.5 Swiss brass, Graf, etc.? I thought the Berdan primer was a major hassle to work with.Originally Posted by NuJudge

I've been drilling the anvil out of the gp stuff and using pistol primers,
13.5g unique and 90g hornady xtp's about like shoting a 22 mag
very accurate
Rumor is that Graf will very soon have new 7.5 Swiss brass. I have some, but plan to buy 100 new cases. That should keep me shooting for a long time.

Case trimming wins that honor. The additional step is not something I like to do, but it's not a problem. In compensation, load development with Berdan brass always seems shorter than with other calibers. The ignition characteristics are occasionally quite different, usually more mild, sometimes more energetic.
The Swiss brass is uniformly excellent. I hate throwing something so nice away. The reason I got into loading Berdan primers is because I had so many calibers where there was a problem with ammo availability, and the only brass of any sort was Berdan, and the only non-corrosive ammo for gas guns was reloaded in washed Berdan cases.
I've used the Lachmiller/RCBS tool for some years, and it works well. There is a hydraulic method also, but it is not something I can do as I watch TV. It takes me some 15 seconds per case.
Berdan primer supply was a problem until the PMC/Russian stuff started coming in. It still is a problem in sizes other than .217.
