I picked up some surplus 7.5 swiss ammo for my K31 today, and it does not look exactly look like the "regular GP-11" ammo that I buy. If anyone can help identify, or offer advice, I would appreciate it.
The box label is as follows:
Code 1305-111-0100
Quantite' 15
Designation CART 7,5 MM
BAL ORD
LAM CHA
Lot 78 ALM 75
Nomenclature 1305-14-041-0269
Observations
Etuis LAITON 2-ALM-75
Amorces M^1e (?) 1951 4-SFM-75
Balles O M ^1e 1924C 2-ALM-75
Poudre B Pa (0,3) C 47-PB-74
charge 2,98g
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cartridge itself is headstamped as follows"
2-75 (top)
L (left side)
M
V (right side)
D
7.5 (bottom)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since I do not have a digital caliper, I cannot make detailed measurements. However, here are some observations:
- The brass length is about 2mm shorter than the GP-11 cartridge
- The neck shoulder starts about 1-2 mm before the GP-11 cartridge
- The angle of the neck is greater than that of the GP-11 cartridge (about 45 degrees compared to 30 degrees)
- As a result, the shoulder is at least 1 mm longer that the GP-11 cartridge
- The overall length is 2-3 mm less than the GP-11 cartridge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've searched online and found a little info, but nothing to make me feel totally safe about shooting these cartridges. The place I bought them offered no help. He just threw up his hands and shrugged. So, if anyone is able to help, I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, I've just bought some new paperweights.
