Okay,
my first k31 Swiss is on the way here, will be arriving by Thursday... Thank you so much to all of the people who have been helping me out with my bullet mold inquiries, it has been very informative to say the least (and damn you HollowPoint for getting 1.5" groups at 200yrds that is insane to me)
Some of the members have been kind enough to assist me by sending some boolits my way so I can test them out before I commit to buying a mold, so I have dodged a financial bullet for a couple of weeks in that respect that I do not need a mold ASAP, but instead just need to get the simple reloading supplies to get me started on the journey...
So here is the issue: When it comes to dies, I am aware that some dies are to spec for the Swiss 1911 rather than the k31 which is a bit tighter, and can actually harm brass... Today I went to buy the Redding 7.5x55 (k31) dies which I could assume would work perfectly, but they sold out of their last one today!!! Harsh luck![]()
In lieu of the Redding dies being out of stock (and literally about $30 more expensive on other websites than Grafs) I have come up with a few runner ups that I would highly appreciate opinions on and if you have experience with the dies all the better!
Lee 7.5x55 Dies
RCBS 7.5x55 FL Die set Group A
Anyone use them to reload for their k31 specifically? Am I supposed to only size the neck of the die and not push it all the way through the FL sizer? I know enough to ask the questions, but not enough to really get a clear picture on what is going on here...
Also, if anyone is by chance looking to sell Redding 7.5x55 Swiss dies I am looking to purchase ASAP (like today) otherwise I will probably just go with the Lee/RCBS sets pending responses from the folks here.
The reason I am rushing is simply because the rifle is already en route to me
thanks a ton fellas!
