There was plenty of berdan primed 7.62 NATO brass made but became less common to find by the 1990's.
I'm shooting 1975 and 1976 Austrian made Hirtenberger 7.62 NATO right now that is berdan primed and I reload it with berdan primers. Most people don't want to bother reloading it but I do and it's not overly hard to do. I also reload berdan primed Swiss 7.5x55.
