The east block type ammunition, most being steel cased and Berdan primed, is much harder to reload than the brass cases common in the United States.
Have at it folks. Anyone here actually reload or tried to reload steel cased ammo?

I have not done it, but I have read of at least one person who claimed to have done it successfully.
I know of one person the reloads 223 steel cases and has been successful doing so.
I haven’t tried it nor do I intend to. I’m almost swimming in spent .45, 44, and 5.56 brass as it is.

Not me, but I cannot see how you could decap and reprime a burdan primer. The anvil is part of the primer pocket. A boxer-style decapper would destroy the anvil and make the case useless. Also, the steel case is less malleable than brass and would likely split when resized. Just my $.02
