Also, is there a way to identify berdan primers before or after firing the round? 303 British specifically.

The only way I can think of that you can identify Berdan primers before firing is that USUALLY (but not always) is that the Berdan primer will seat slightly below the base of the cartridge. Loking down at a Berdan primer it may look flattened (whereas a Boxer primer -used in civilian ammo - has the familiar "humped" look) I want to emphasize that what I said is not a surefire,never fail method for identifying the primer. It's all I can think of -and I never was much for reloading. Hope it helps a bit.
