7.5x55 Swiss Reloading Equipment

[dak0ta]

Hi,

I was wondering what equipment I need to buy before I start reloading this round. I'm using my friend's Rockchucker, powders, bullets etc.

Here's a list of what I'm thinking of buying to feed my K-31 rifle:

RCBS or Lee 2 die set FL
Lee Factory Crimp Die
Lee Case Trimming Gauge in 7.5x55 Swiss
284 Winchester Brass to be reformed

Is there anything missing or isn't required on this list?

Regarding the case trimming, will Lee products fit a RCBS case trimmer? Also, how much trimming will be required after reforming 284 Win brass?

Lastly, does anybody know where I can get some 7.5 Swiss Brass instead?

The lee dies are reamed for the chamber spec of the K-11 not the K-31. So you'll be oversizing your brass everytime. As for buying brass I have a couple hundred pieces some of it virgin. I will price to sell if you're interested. I'll also sell you my Lee dies and for a small fee they will ream them to match your chamber.

Get the Redding FL dies, IMR 4064 and Sierra 168 GR MKs.

Hornady also (after some nagging!) makes a set for the K-31 ... it's part #546361 vs the older K-11 chamber #546360
