Ammo for 1889 Swiss Schmidt-Rubin rifle?

**rsuslick** · 03-10-2008 05:34 PM

I am a new member and I'm into military surplus rifles. I started at a late age and am having a ball in the history of these rifles. However, I am having a problem locating amo for an 1889 Swiss icon

Schmidt-Rubin rifle. Can anyone help me in locating it. I also need a magazine for the rifle as well.

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.

You will have to roll your own, by either forming .284 WIN. brass or shortening GRAF 7.5x55 brass. HORNADY 180gr.RN bullets work well. I can probably dig up loading data, or you could look up the SWISSRIFLES website.
