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....
