Does it use Berdan or Boxer primers?

The FNM-xx 7.62 with NATO star is berdan, put it in the scrap metal drum.

It is Berdan primed, but Ol Western Scrounger has metric Berdan primers to fit it.  They are about 2X the cost of domestic Boxer primers, and you have the hassle of removing the spent Berdan primer by prying with a sharpened punch or the RCBS Berdan decapping tool or the messy process of filling with water and using hydraulic force in your press.

It's doable, but slow and expensive.  Shame, too, seeing that the Port brass is fairly high quality.
