Looking for tested loads for 7.5 Swiss. Have a couple of decent accurate 3031 and 4064 loads for 150 gr. bullets at moderate vol. Have had good results with 20-25 gr. or 2400 under cast bullets from 150-190 gr. Am looking for loads for jacketed up to 190 gr, and possibly a 220 gr. cast load if anyone has any experiance with that weight. Am not interested in high vol. only accuracy, so 2100-2300 fps. is for me a good working range. Thanks in advance for any help.

Look for links at www.swissrifles.com or go next door to LoadSwap. Try Wolfe Publishing's www.loaddata.com You should be able to locate some data from those directions. I will own one of those straight pull rifles one day. I believe they are close to the .308 in performance. Good luck Paul Bandito

I Forgot to say that Load Data has a fee to subscribe. Lots of data ther. 'Dito

180 gr jacketed:

51.5 gr 4831 2550 fs est.
49.0 gr 4350 2450 fs est.

The above loads were developed with .3085 bullets and Winchester 120 primers.

I just found alot more info in the Hornady Handbook #2. If you cant find a copy of it I could do some Photo copying for you. It list loads for 130, 150, 165, 168, and 180gr jacketed with too many powders for my fingers to type. The above loads came out of the Handbook for Shooters and Reloaders by Parker O. Ackley. Printed in 1962.
I do not even know if the gunsmith who developed these loads is still with us, but he did alot of work with this round and used to take letters at this adress.

Paul,

I have only one load which I have used for 35 years. The reason it is the only one is that it would group under 1" with iron sights (when my eyes were a lot better. It also shoots to the sights of my 89/11. Just didn't see any reason to look further.

50.0/IMR 4350/Sierra 180 SPBT.

Thanks much, I appreciate the fact that you and iron sights are the same problem that I have with them at the tender age of 65. Haven't had 4350 on hand for awhile, but will break down and get a can and give it a try. Thanks again.
