IMHO I would not consider this case drilling method safe.
The Berdan design case has a built in anvil. To eliminate it by drilling would be too large a flash hole IMHO. Berdan cases CAN be reload with Berdan primers and the appropriate tools. Those that I have know who have reloaded these types of cases generall decap their fired cased by filling the cases with water, and then using a round tightly fitting punch the hydraulically push out the fired primers by placing the case over an appropriately sized hole in a steel plate and whacking the punch with a good hammer.
