swiss 7.5

[mac1911]

I will be reloading Swiss 7.5 soon I missed my sources to buy Swiss gp11 surplus in bulk. So I ordered some PPU for the brass. The loaded ammo was only 21 more cents delivered vs the 61 cents delivered for the new brass.
That said I will most likely only shoot 150 rounds or less a year. Mostly shooting cmp vintage match.
I'm useing lee dies.... I have great luck/ results with them for the low volume shooters in my stash.
Ok enough ....... is anyone loading these and what bullets are you useing? I have several 30 Cal opptions. Nosler 150 CCs. Hornady bulk 168s and some hornady 155gn fmj?
Plan on useing varget or some of the 1lb assorted stuff I have blc(2) H4895 as this is what I have on hand. If powder comes around again and doesn't cost me 37$ for 1lb I may try others.

SGAmmo still lists 7.5x55. It comes to about 50 cents a round + shipping.

I've had excellent results with the following:

45 gr IMR4064 behind a 150 gr Remington FMJBT using Graf once fired brass and Win Large Rife primer. COL 2.180 and to the Ogive 2.320

Good luck !

Thank you .......at this point I'm just going to reload 7.5 Swiss. The gp 11 surplus shoots much better than the PPU FMJ stuff. I did buy some ppu for the brass though...
I will be going with what I have on hand. 4064,n150 and blc2 to start with.

Much of my reloading is with the Lyman #311410 for light plinking loads (heck, anywhere from 5 to 8 grains of W452AA, Unique or whatever I have on hand, within reason...). Sabot loads are fun, too.

You know, you can easily reload the GP-11 brass if you acquire a few boxes of the Tula (KV-762N) .217" diameter berdan primers.

Acquire is they key word...... locally forget it. Online maybe but they are not exactly cheap at the few places I have seen in stock. Hazmat fees went up also. Now if I can find enough people interested I could do a primer buy and Max out the order of 50,000 primers. Brings hazmat and shipping charges to just about 1$ per k

I have been depriming my brass cased berdan stuff in hopes to reload it some day. I also have been making the slow shift to cast loads. Mosin and A3 are loving cast loads as I am loving the cost of reloads. Swiss should be no problem. I have a variety of molds in 30 Cal. Need one for the 8mm Mauser also.

I hear you... I only buy in a fgroup setting myself.
As for 8mm, there's a shop in the opposite corner of the state (Goshen, CT) that has one cast bullet offering, a Saeco 190 grain round nose. They shoot okay out of my Hakim, but that's not really the ideal cast bullet launcher.
