    Schmidt Rubin 1889 reloading

    Hey Guy's, i purchased a Schmidt Rubin 1889 7.5x54.5 swiss a few days ago. serial number is 206XXX so it dates 1896. I need Help for reloading. i only have 50 rounds of original 7.5X54.5 that came with the gun and are not reloadable because they are berdan primed. it's possible but to much trouble lol

    i will use 243 winchester brass trimmed to 54.5mm . What kind of powder and what amount i should put in the brass to reload them. they need them to be at around 1800 FPS

    Thanks

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I'm using 35grs. H4895 with 178gr Hornady Amax bullets, and Winchester LR primers and leave the brass as is for the 7.5x55
    Which club are you shooting with?
