Swiss K31 Rifles - Page 2 - The Firearms Forum

I'm having trouble fitting a shell holder for Swiss 7.5x55. Lee size listed is same as 30-30 (#3 shellholder for Auto Prime) but Wolf cases I have won't fit that holder. Also 40 year old Herter shell holder for 30-30 won't fit it either. A shellholder from a set made by Lyman for 30-30 does fit the Wolf case.

Is the Wolf ammo not standard size for head dimensions?

Anyone else have problems with finding a shell holder for the Swiss case?

Also, what kind of reloading dies do you recommend?

My Dillon manual says to use the 30-06/243/308/25-06/35Whelan shell plate.

A guy in northern Italy (on another website) has contacts among the Swiss Army Reserves.
He stated in January that the ammo will continue to be exported to the US.

If somebody like Prvi ever decided to copy/produce GP-11 and somehow this were to bring down the ammo price by a good bit, wouldn't the rifles' prices take a jump?
