When reloading for the Swissrifles, there are dies available from different manufacturers. RCBS makes TWO different sets of dies, one for the K-31 rifle and one for the others. The K-11 and IG-11 rifles may, or may not, chamber cartridges reloaded with dies designed for the GP-11 rounds. There is a slight dimensional difference between the GP-11 and the GP-90 cartridge cases.
I use LEE dies, (designed for the k-31) and the reloads work well in my K-11 and IG-11 rifles also.
Most of the ALLIANT powder is made in Sweden. However, Reloader 17 (RL-17) is made in Switzerland by the same company that provided powder for those wonderfully accurate GP-11 cartridges. The recommended load is within one grain of powder less than powder taken from several pulled GP-11 rounds. That is a good clue on what powder to use for reloads.
