7.5x55 Swiss Reloading Equipment

Hi,

I was wondering what equipment I need to buy before I start reloading this round. I'm using my friend's Rockchucker, powders, bullets etc.

Here's a list of what I'm thinking of buying to feed my K-31 rifle:

RCBS or Lee 2 die set FL
Lee Factory Crimp Die
Lee Case Trimming Gauge in 7.5x55 Swiss
284 Winchester Brass to be reformed

Is there anything missing or isn't required on this list?

Regarding the case trimming, will Lee products fit a RCBS case trimmer? Also, how much trimming will be required after reforming 284 Win brass?

Lastly, does anybody know where I can get some 7.5 Swiss Brass instead?

First a Hornady 3-Die set is enough and neck sizing after the first fire forming is good for the next 3-4 times of reloading. Why do you want to make the efforts with the .284 Win cases PRVI cases are great and cheap too. I have an extra 3-Die set and some 50 or 60 PRVI Cases. If you´re interested send me a PM.

I've been using the Redding dies and 155 Noslers in PRVI brass.

I too would recommend going with the PRVI brass for simplicity. Be especially careful on seating depth, these rifles don't have much of a leade. I had half my first batch not want to chamber. All I could figure is the Nosler ogive had some variety and some went and some didn't. Another 8 thousanths of bullet seating depth fixed me up. Oh, don't go by the OAL listed in most manuals, they're too long and will jam in the leade.

I use Lee dies, FL size every time, neck size don't work to well on a K31.
Go with the Prvi brass, it's great stuff.
Why would you muck around with .284 and still have to deal with a smaller rim size.
As has been said, watch your seating depth very carefully.
Varget is a good powder for it. I think from memory I run 41-42 grns with 168gr Nosler custom comps.
