I seem to remember a pickle fork tool that was used to decap a Berdan primed case . Is that still available?
I would imagine you would have to decap each case manually,as it would impossible to line up a press correctly each time.
You would have to find some Berdan primers(hopefully non-corrosive) or drill out the center of the case so a boxer primer would work. In the Berdan case the anvil in part of the case and in a Boxer primer the anvil is part of the primer.
