I an figuring that this may be a bad time to get into it lol.

Not in over a year. They pop up every once in a while. What size? Berdan has a much wider variety of sizes than Boxer. Get the wrong size and you have expensive caps.

I bought a bunch of them for next to nothing afew years ago, before the plandemic. Haven't seen any more since then.

I suspect they’re all in eastern Ukraine right now. I’d be curious where they show up when they do though.

They still show up on occasion? I don't look often for them. Last I remember, was when Russia went into Crimea, that the import ban of Russian products started.

Tulammo is the only berdan primers I have ever seen in person. I bought a brick of the large rifle berdans in 2014. That was the last time that I recall Powder Valley carrying them.

Tulas were the last i seen of em, and got 2 cases (10,000) years ago. They kept me shooting through several shortages when either regular rifle primers or brass was very tough to get. A lot of work, but hardly any one else at range shooting.
