7.5X55 Swiss
« on: December 14, 2005, 03:53:34 PM »
I think I will be getting a set of 7.5X55 Swiss reloading dies for Christmas.  Anyone have a favorite deer load worked up they would like to share?

I plan on making my own cast bullets also.  Would like to hear from some of you that cast your own for the 7.5X55 Swiss.  Thanks

I haven't loaded any jacketed bullets in mine. I use the Lee CTL312-160-2R bullet - appropriately sized of course. This is the 7.62x39 CE Harris bullet.

My load for my Swiss K-31 using 150 grain pellets (Hornady SP Interlocks or SSTs) uses 45 grains of IMR 4064 with CCI 200 primers. Since the K-31s have very short throated chambers, I set them for an OAL 2.875". I mounted a no drill and tap scout scope mount on this K-31 and with a 2X7 inexpensive scope, I'm getting 1/2" three shot groups at 100 yds.
Hunting and fishing are not matters of life or death. They are much more important than that.

We have the 7.5x55 brass in stock if needed.
