7.5x55 Swiss Projectile options

[VooDooMan]

Hey guys,

A local dealer has a nice selection of projectiles for sale.
I have narrowed it down to the 165gr SPBT or the 150GR FMJBT.
I will be pushing either one with IMR4895 as I have 2 lbs but I am open to suggestions on that too.

Would like to buy 1 K so I prefer an educated answer if any one has insight for me.

Thanks!

the oem GP11 ammo is 175 grain if that means anything to you.

Thanks for the heads up, Knew that all ready.

Cost over rules every thing else hence my 2 options
thanks!

Work up the load before you buy anything but primers in bulk.
"...with IMR4895..." No data on Hodgdon's site. No 165 or 175 grain data either. The 168 grain data will do for a 165 though. That doesn't mean there won't be any in their manual. H4895 is not interchangeable with IMR4895.

Make sure they fit the chamber before loading too many. I loaded up a bunch thinking they would be close enough only to find they were too long. Live and learn.
