Hey all,
I'm attempting to reload 7.5x55 swiss for the K31 rifle. I understand that these rifles normally have very shallow throats and was aware that most bullets would have to be seated very deeply to chamber correctly.
In order for the Sierra 168gr matchking bullets I have to chamber with no signs of the bullet touching the lands, it practically has to be seated so far in that there is a very very little bit of space between the top of the case and the bullet...that is what I am unsure about. Is this bad? I was able to chamber the dummy round while it was seated out a little further, but it showed signs of touching the lands (sharpie marker being rubbed off.)
I am still relatively new to handloading (started in December) so any input is greatly appreciated.
