Bali Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I made up some 7,5 x 55 swiss loads to fire at the range today and none of them fired, all the privi factory loads were OK.No mark in the primers with the home load but a good strike in the centre with the factory. Now the home loads are exactly the same dimensions as the factory so I am confused, any sugestions ? I am using cci large rifle primers the gun is a K31 hitting the bull at 300yds today no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 How did you resize them, what cases are the reloads? (It was 6.5x55 yes?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Primer pocket too deep? Hard primer? The only other thing would be a broken spring, but it fires factory loads. If you've de primed them find the old primer measure them, and measure the cci that you are using see if there is any differance Hope this helps.

Vince Green Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) (It was 6.5x55 yes?) No he said 7.5 Swiss . I am not that familiar with the S. R. rifle but it sounds to me like the bolt is not closing properly on the reloads. Its a bit of an unusual bolt on that rifle, and the case has a very pronounced shoulder. Does it definitely go click when you pull the trigger? Edited May 22, 2013 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Yeah, was just checking it wasn`t a typo. Just wondered if it might have been resizing rather than primer pocket etc as I don`t know the 7.5 but do have a 6.5 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it definitely go click when you pull the trigger? No idea unless it is a light strike on the primer. I never cease to be amazed at the depth of knowledge some PW shooters possess. I had never heard of a 7.5 Swiss but evidently Vince is familiar with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 A pure guess.....wrong case! That is if there is no mark left by the pin! If the primer has been struck then contamination. Usualy oil or water. Just my initial thoughts! U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bali Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi all on mobile at the moment but will put up post tonight spoke to a k31 reloder this morning who had same problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 How are you priming the cases? Using a hand priming device or on the press? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bali Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Thanks everyone for your comments, the problem I am lead to believe is in the resizing, the lee dies that I have basically dosnt form the neck shape properly meaning the cartridge is not seating properly. The chap I spoke to is sending me over the correct details. I will try resizing again to see if it was me, I will also try and put a pic up so you can see the very slight mis shape neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Good to hear you got it sorted, hope it hasn`t set you back too many cases and consumables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
