I'm thinking of getting a Swiss K-31 because of the unusual design and the reports that they're pretty accurate. If I get one, I'll be shooting low power cast loads for fun. Is this rifle a good candidate for this?
The K-31 will accurately and reliably shoot a wide range of cast bullet designs and weights, from the light Lee 309-113F “wadcutter” and the long, heavy Lyman #311644 (195gr. tapered bullet) equally well (2 m.o.a. or better from an “as issued” carbine). Other cast bullets worth considering are Lee C309-180R, Lyman #311291, Lyman #31141, Lyman #311466, Lyman #311332 and Saeco #315. Incidentally, all of these should be sized to .309” and seated deeply enough into the cases to allow the bolt to not only close, but also go into battery (more on this later).
That is very encouraging. Where did you hear this?Luckly the Swiss have billions of GP11 left to sell, last I heard it was like 800 billion or some crazy number like that.
Afy said:That being said try and get your self a STGW 57. The rifle's felt recoil is lower than the AK, and its more accurate than the K-31. Downside you cant reload for it because it chews up the brass.
