7.5 x 55 Swiss (K31) Help Thread

[RandallOfLegend]

I am looking to get into reloading 7.5 Swiss for my K31. I have a large amount of GP11 brass (Berdan) and some PPU brass (Boxer). I have a water decapper for the Berdan. I know that it will shoot .308 caliber projectiles.

Please help me! I only reload pistol at the moment. Recommendations with primer types, powder brands, and bullets are welcome. You don't need to post charge weights, I can work them up on my own. I have done a bit of googling but I have not found a good compiled source.

Save the Berdan primed GP-11, some day we'll figure a good way to reload it (requires Berdan primers). I reload PPU brass, also bought a bunch of brand new PPU brass from Grafs back when I got my K-31's. I'm using IMR 4064, CCI LRP primers, and .308 projectiles (150, 165, 168, and 175gn). Reloading rifle is a bit more labor intensive than slapping together pistol rounds, I'd be happy to take you through it sometime.

BTW, that site is a "must read" for the Swiss rifle owner.
