Preferred FMJ bullet for 7.5x55 Swiss

[ukrifleman]

Hello all,
I have a superb Schmidt-Rubin K11 that I purchased last year (thank you Adam) and due to the lockdown, I have only managed to put a few cast loads through it so far.

In anticipation of the lockdown ending later on this year, I would like to load up some FMJ cartridges and would be interested in what forum members find are the preferred FMJ bullets for this calibre.

My K11 slugs at .2975/.3065 and I will be using RS60 powder.

Any suggestion/comments gratefully received.

Lapua D46 is the classic FMJ target bullet

Thought of a cast boolit?

Privi do a copy of the original, I think it is listed by Krank's as B345.

PPU 174 grain 7.5 bullet. I have used them for years, Kranks stock them

I use home cast Lee 150grn gas checked , with 16grns unique, gives around 1700 fps and has shot to 200yds OK, mainly used as gallery ammo, and at 25-50yds is great low recoil fun for pennies

Thanks to all for the suggestions.

I already have a stock of the PPU 174gn FMJBT for use in other rifles and will give these a go.

Cast bullets are already sorted, I use the LEE 155gn, gas checked to .309 in front of Reloader 7 with good results.

Once again many thanks.

As long as it’s a quality bullet. Personally I have not found PPU to be so, in several calibers. Their brass I’ve found good, but the only advantage to their billets is a price point.

Oh I don't know, I've found them fine at 65 yards.
