Schmidt Rubin 1889 reloading

**SVT-40** · 03-08-2014 03:58 AM

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 will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
