7.5×55 Swiss – 174 Gr SP – PPU (PP7SS) – 200 Rounds

Pick up this 200 round case of PPU PP7SS 7.5×55 Swiss 174 grain soft point ammo from Prvi Partizan and put your Swiss rifle to work in the deer woods. Hunting loads for the 7.5×55 are not easy to find, and buying by the case means you can practice with the same ammunition you carry in the field. That consistency matters when your rifle is zeroed for one specific load.

Each cartridge carries a 174 grain soft point bullet. The exposed lead tip is designed to expand on impact and transfer energy to the target for clean, ethical kills. The factory rates this load at 2,526 fps with 2,466 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, which is plenty for deer, hogs and similar medium game at sensible hunting distances. A soft point is more than you need for paper targets; if you only want range ammo, the PP7SF FMJ boat tail load is the better buy.

The 7.5×55 Swiss served as Switzerland’s standard military rifle cartridge for most of the 20th century, and it has a reputation as an accurate, efficient round. It is chambered in the K31 straight pull carbine and the Schmidt-Rubin family of rifles and carbines, and many owners have found these rifles make capable hunting rifles. 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. The 7.5×55 is not interchangeable with the 7.5×54 French, so confirm your chambering before loading. PPU, short for Prvi Partizan, has made ammunition in Serbia since 1928.

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 PP7SS case holds 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds, enough to zero your rifle, practice from field positions, and carry the same lot through several seasons. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the boxes sealed until use.
