Letter Re: Reloading for 7.5 Swiss
Dear Jim,
Regarding East Tennessee Hillbilly's otherwise excellent summary of reloading:
In the back of the Arsenal of Democracy I keep a case of each caliber I shoot.
The 7.5 Swiss cartridge has a wider case, thicker base and thicker rim than
.308. I don't believe
it's possible to fabricate 7.5 Swiss cartridges from .308. - Michael
Z. Williamson
JWR Replies: I have read that .284
Winchester brass can be re-formed to 7.5 Swiss without much difficultly.
The same thread mentions that Graf & Sons sells
virgin Boxer-primed 7.5 Swiss brass that they had made up with their own
head stamp.
