Pick up this 200 round case of PPU PP7SF 7.5×55 Swiss 174 grain FMJ boat tail ammo from Prvi Partizan and give your Swiss rifle the kind of steady diet it was built for. Swiss rifles are known for their accuracy, and they reward owners who shoot them often. A full case of fresh, factory loaded 7.5×55 lets you spend your range time shooting instead of hunting for ammo.
Each cartridge uses a 174 grain full metal jacket boat tail bullet. The factory rates this load at 2,526 fps with 2,466 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The boat tail base helps the bullet hold its velocity downrange, which makes this a good choice for practice at longer distances, sighting in, and collector shooting matches. As a non-expanding FMJ, it is meant for targets, not game; choose a soft point load for hunting.
The 7.5×55 Swiss, also called the 7.5 Swiss, served as Switzerland’s standard military rifle cartridge for most of the 20th century. It is best known in the K31 straight pull carbine and the Schmidt-Rubin family of rifles and carbines. Earlier Model 1889 Schmidt-Rubin rifles were designed around a lower pressure cartridge, so have a qualified gunsmith confirm one of those is suitable before firing modern loads, and always confirm your rifle is chambered for 7.5×55 Swiss. This load is not interchangeable with the 7.5×54 French. PPU, short for Prvi Partizan, has made ammunition in Serbia since 1928 and is one of the few makers still producing this cartridge in volume.
This is new production ammunition, not surplus or reloads. Every round is loaded in a brass case with a Boxer primer, so the brass is reloadable, and the priming is non-corrosive, so there is no need for the special cleaning routine that old military surplus demands. The PP7SF case holds 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds, a solid supply for regular range trips with a K31. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the boxes sealed until use to protect the cartridges from moisture.
