I just picked up a MAS 36/51. Impulse shopping! Anyone have any info on reloading this calibre?
A friend of mine has had good results using .308 loads, with .308 bullets.
any info on maximum case length & cartridge overall lebgth?
7.5x54mm MAS maximum case length- 2.126'', Maximum C.O.L.- 3.025''.
I reload it all the time. Privi makes brass and Grafs sells it. Hornady reloading manual has all the reloading data
you will need.
I also form 7.5 Fr brass from 3006 brass as well.
I use same components used for M1 Rifle: IMR 4985 and 150 FMJ bullets and have sub MOA results routinely if I do my part.
Privi shoots real well in mine. I have some cases formed from 7.5x55 Swiss that seem to work rather well also. Watch using the higher end .308 loads. The pressures are a bit high for the action. Even though the 7.5 is bigger than the .308, the working pressures are a bit lower....
