Are any cases available for the Swiss Schmidt Rubin K31 7.5 Swiss Caliber that has Boxer primers instead of the Berdans?
I'd like to pick up one of these rifles but I don't think I want to fuss with the Berdan Primers.

Grafs.com has their own brand and norma brass for 7.5x55, unprimed, boxer.

Been thinking about getting one of those K31s myself. I like unique designs among firearm actions

You have a chance to support a site sponsor qajaq59, About twenty threads down, is a thread on 7.5 Swiss. Reed1911 left a post saying he has Swiss brass in stock.

I just reloaded my first Swiss 7.5X55 ammo. It shot well. One group was (I thought) real good. I am loading the Berdan primed brass though. It was easy and fun to do. I can't figure out why so many say that the Berdan primed brass is so much trouble to load.

I looked in all the pages you guys suggested, including Reeds, and obviously there is plenty of brass available. The prices aren't too bad either.

I also looked in my cast loading manual but there is no listing for the Swiss 7.5 but I'm sure there are plenty of loads around if I look. I like to shoot slower moving cast lead as it doesn't beat up these old shoulders as bad. ha ha

There is a long article by Ed Haris that I posted that may help
