7.5 mm Swiss/ Swedish

[gewehr76]

Hi reloaders,
Any one reloading/ loading this caliber? Any one heard of it??
7.5 mm should be .308-.310 ?
Any info?

Thank you.

It's a .308 bullet they like the heavier one and it 7.5swiss you have to set them deep due to euro bullets being a difrent taper than North American bullets

7.5x55 swiss has a .308 bullet.. ''Swedish'' has nothing do do with that caliber

Sorry guys I should have been more clear about this. It's actually 7.5 swiss/ swedish revolver cartridge. I googled it and sorces are vague about its dimensions, some say 23mm, some 28mm brass length. Some say .318 some .327 bullets used. So confusing.
Thanks G76

"...Swiss/Swedish..." Pick one. They're not the same thing. AKA Swiss/Swedish/Norwegian Ordnance Nagant.

Sunray, Please just once if you aren't sure about something DON'T ANSWER!!!

I just opened a book before I answered this post.

The book is "cartridges of the world 3rd edition"

According to them there is indeed a 7.5 Swiss/Swede/Norwegian revolver round.

It lists them as "fully interchangeable" so I'm guessing they are the same.

Lists the bullet diameter as .312-.315 and states that .32 S&W or .32-20 bullets will work if sized to the earlier mentioned sizes.

MV ranges from 725 fps (104 grain) to 960 fps (93 grain).

well that's what drives me bonkers is that in so many publications its not clear what kind of bullet suppose to be used in these? is it 315 or 312. I have a 7.62 nagants and the bore grooves are 310. while lands on them are 300. I have pulled some surpluss bullets my friend brought from states and they measure 308-310, so i'm reloading 7.62 nagant with 308 bullets and they shoot fine. Now with this 7.5mm ammo, if any one can measure surpluss cartridge for these it would be 100% accurate than going through books and internet i think.
Thank you
