OLd RWS brass had Berdan primers. Not sure when they made the switch from Berdan to Boxer( late 1960's or early 70s).I have found several Berdan primed cases in used brass for metric calibres that I've picked up at gun shows etc.

ALF, I have about 40 Berdan primed 8x68 cases, and close to 400 with boxer primer pockets. My Bredan primed cases can be distinguised in the larger size of the Berdan primer vs the Boxer ones. also, they were "crimped" in place by 3 little "dents"
