7.5x54mm French

[NAA]

So, who's using 6.5x55mm brass as a basis to reload 7.5x54mm French? Interested in process, issues, etc.

I'm using commercial .308 Win for my 7.5 conversions. Search for posts started by me, and you'll find a thread started several months ago on this conversion plan.

I use 6.5 x 55 brass resized to 7.5 x 54. The case head diameter is closer to the 7.5 x 54 than a .308 is. I just lubed them up well with Lee case lube, put some lube inside the neck with a q tip, trimmed to length, loaded to moderate load and shot. Re-sized, trimmed and good to go. I use a Rock Chucker press, as I recall it took some effort.
