Who's handloading for 7.5 Swiss
« on: November 11, 2006, 09:40:46 AM »
I'm looking for some 7.5 Swiss load data, what have you found to be a good accurate load using either 150 or 165 grain bullets?

I have good luck with 150 corelokt and 165 Sierra charged with RL-15.

Here are a couple links on the K31. I bought one including a die set, haven't shot it yet, tho. Load data can be found at the bottom of the page of the first link.

Thanks, that first link had a lot of good info on it. I saved the handloading page. I have some of the powders mentioned and also same bullets, so I can get right to reloading some of mine.

Cheese the links in the above post has the load data and from what I saw, the RL-15 powder seemed to produce the tightest groups. I'll have to pick some of that up. Thanks!  ;D

45 grains of IMR 4064 gets 3 shot .5" groups with a scout scope mounted on my K-31.
Hunting and fishing are not matters of life or death. They are much more important than that.

So far my K31 likes the 165 gr. Hornady Interbond bullet and 43.9 gr. of 4064.

That's a nice small group. I guess that I will have to give the Reloader 15 a try out first though since I just bought a container of it today.  ;D

I don't know what I may be doing wrong but I don't have that good of luck with the Reloader 15 powder for the K31 Swiss 7.5X55.  But I am in the early stages of working up a load for mine.

From the look of the group on that target, it looks like you've got a good start.  ;D
