Yes they are Berdan primed. I bought some 8mm factory and kept the shells. So far, so good. The performance of my reloads are excellent. Thanks for all the comments and information everyone.

Thanks for all the comments. Varget powder is like $400 for 8 pounds. 900 (one case of corrosive yugo) yields 900*42/7000 = 5.4, so it's like $250 worth of powder in there. Plus 900 bullets. Reloading supplies have exploded (pun intended) in price. 900 bullets is worth about $400! Of course, I...
