New to forum But have been reloading since Obama got elected . Never thought it would be like this . Trying to find 380 acp dies maybe some others 7.62 x 54r .303 British 7.5 x 55 mm for Schmidt Rubin rifles . Would love to find some reasonably priced large rifle primers and maybe some other items .

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?

1911 Schmidt Rubin . Its a family members rifle that I might reload for if I can find dies and shell holder .

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.
