Does anyone know of any commercial custom loaders who offer the 7.5x53 cartridge? I've contacted a few vendors found via google search with no success. Can anyone recommend a particular vendor? I am currently looking at an 1893 carbine and would like to be able to shoot it occasionally. #1 · Apr 13, 2015 Does anyone know of any commercial custom loaders who offer the 7.5x53 cartridge?

Sort by Oldest first Oldest first Newest first Most reactions #2 · Apr 16, 2015 I'm assuming that you have asked this question because (A) you do not reload, and (B) this is the first Swiss rifle that you have ever owned ? Before you reply to (A) and (B) there would be no chance in this world of ours that I would use loads assembled by someone else; no matter who they are. This is a job that only you can do. Do not trust anyone except yourself. By all means buy the carbine if it appeals to you, and it can be purchased at a reasonable price. I'm assuming that you have looked into the background of this particular Swiss model, hence your interest in it? Just bear in mind that you, and you alone, will be reloading this carbine; if it is definitely your plan to shoot it. Otherwise be prepared to buy it for it's collector value. Gingerbeer #4 · Apr 16, 2015 I don't know why you would post this. There are plenty of reputable vendors who make safe, custom ammo for these old rifles. Maybe you wouldn't use ammo made by anyone but you, which is fine. To the OP, call American Custom Ammo. 850-689-4553. Here's information on the GP90. Thank you for your inquiry and interest in American Custom Ammo. Regarding the 7.5X53.5 S.R., we certainly do load that caliber. The very early rifles had a .304 bore diameter and the later rifles had a .308 bore diameter. You would need to know your rifle's bore diameter. The currently available bullets for this caliber as listed below. Let us know the bullet of your choice and we'll provide prices. Brass is new 7.5X55 S. R. modified, reformed and resized to 7.5X53.5 S. R. Ammunition comes packaged in new reusable plastic hinge top boxes, 50 rounds per box. Minimum order is 100 rounds. Just to be sure, you had mentioned the GP 90 / 23 rifle. That model of rifle was chambered for 7.5X54.5 S. R. If in fact that is the ammunition that you need, bullet selection is still the same except that the case length is 54.5mm instead of 53.5mm. HAWK (.304): 180 gr. Precision - JSN/RT/FB HAWK (.308): 180 gr. Precision - JSN/RT/FB 200 gr. Precision - JSN/RT/FB 220 gr. Precision - JSN/RT/FB LAPUA (.308): 185 gr. Mega - JSN/PP/SS/FB 200 gr.

However, there ARE people here and over on swissrifles.com who DO shoot this cartridge. I suggest that you wait for one of them to come along and make some worthwhile contribution, unlike me. Whinemeal, you might like to give some consideration to loading using a cast lead bullet of the appropriate dimensions and form, like a few of us do with a plinking-tyle GP11 round. This is based on the assumption that your new carbine is actually in a shootable condition, of course. tac #5 · Apr 20, 2015 Reputable, Safe, maybe; Knowledgable? I'll hold off judging a lot of bad info from plenty different of sources.304" dia bullets for a Swiss? Please, it's a bad idea. Another bad idea is trimming to 53.5mm brass lengths unless you plan to do some fancy paperpatching with some fancy bullets. Custom ammo, reloading, or both.Best #6 · Apr 20, 2015 (Edited) I see that you didn't read what I posted. The "early ones had .304" is not true but it has been published and propagated by reliable people for a long time. So, it's understandable why even people in the industry keep saying it. Kind of like "the Argentine a model 1891 has a weak receiver" B.S. that you will read on the web and in all of the major reloading manuals. The info I posted above was sent to me by the company when I was looking at buying a M1897 Kadet Rifle. Note that she says "you need to slug your rifle's bore." I offered this as one example of a company that has a long history of making custom ammo. There are others, including ones based out of Switzerland. 0 Reply Insert Quotes Post Reply
