Well now this is odd...
I have a Swiss 1889 and a Swiss 1911. Both have rather generous throats that accept the Lee 200 gr 309 bullet quite nicely and still leave the base in the neck of the case. And it shoots well out of them too.
My K31 with its short throat is another story and I've never really used much cast in it because of the short throat.
So I get a 96/11. Should have a long throat like the other long old swiss guns right? Nope. Very short.
Go figure.
Will try some 150 gr bullets and see how they seat.
