An amazing young man who will be turning 5 next month! So there you go guys, that's me in a nutshell!

Not new to reloading. Spent many hours on several forums back then But it's been several years (2015/2016) since I have. The big "O" got me into it for the last Left threat to the Ammo markets. And so here we go again.

Welcome aboard. If you ever find dies, and need any help with the 7.5x55, hit me up. Ive recently been doing a lot of work with my 7.5x55. What model Schmidt Rubin do you have?


JTD

Here’s a lowdown the dies for 7.5x55. The k31 has a different chamber than all the previous Schmidt Rubin models. Redding dies are for the k31, Hornady makes dies for both, so make sure they don’t say k31 anywhere on them. RCBS dies are for the older 1911 chamber, and lee dies are for the older 1911 also. Neck sizing works well if you are shooting mild loads, but if you are trying to get the performance the round was designed for, FL sizing is key because the weak extraction system.
