Sizing 284 Brass to 7.5 Swiss with a Lee Hand Press
« on: April 22, 2005, 11:23:07 AM »
Well got my Lee dies today for the 7.5 Swiss and decided to try resizing some 286 WIn to 7.5 Swiss with my Lee Hand press I have two and are the only presses I own. Well like every thing else I have tried with this press it worked flawlessly. I followed the directions I got about going a half a turn more or a bit more on the sizing die and it worked like a charm. I only bought 5 cases to see how it would work and it was not a problem. I used a lube pad and the normal Hornady lube and it worked fine. I just put a dab on lube inside the neck with a pipcleaner and they sized with out a hitch. I tried one in my K31 and they chamber fine and eject fine also. First loads will be with cast bullets and 16 grains of 2400 as that is what I happen to have on hand at the moment. Jim
Said I never had much use for one, never said I didn't know how to use it.

I just purchased 7,5 french cases from Grafs in the Graf brand and i see they have it in some other hard to find military calibers too like your 7,5 swiss too.                                                           BigBill

Bill they have it listed but they are out until this summer or so they say. Wolf is also supposed to come out this summer with 7.5 swiss in reloadable brass cased boxer primed ammo.
