7.5x55 Lee Dies

[vic130]

I got this FL die for my K31 and I would like to know if I will encounter any magor issue with these. I haven't received my brass yet. I've heard that I might not be able to close the action with a reloaded 7.5x55 from a Lee die.

Is it true or just a myth?

now you do have to seat .308 bullets a little deeper then if it were for a 308 but the dies are fine ive loaded 100's of rnds no problems!

I've reloaded a few hundred rounds for my K31 using Lee dies. No problems. This was using both Graf brass and 284 Win. My rifle has a very short (or no throat). Bullets have to be seated very deep.

+1 on the short throat with the K31. The ogive has to be nearly flush with the case mouth to avoid engraving the lands on my rifle. Tangent ogives seem to work better for me than secant ogives so far.

I use LEE dies with my K31 and have had no issues with full length sized brass.
