7.5x54 brass

[bullseye]

I was at the range today with Enigme Nostra for a charity shoot(see range reports) and there was a guy next to us shooting something in 7.5x54. He doesn't reload and I have the brass if anyone wants it. 20 rds of once fired brass headstamp reads FNM at 12:00 and 7.5x54 at the 6:00. Make an offer at least enough to cover shipping and tell me where to send it. I picked it up because I know someone here can use it. Hope this helps as I know nothing about this brass and have never seen it anywhere before, but someone here needs it. :)

FNM is boxer primed? Only reason I ask is cuz yesterday I was resizing some 7.62 nato & a berdan primed FNM got in the mix and gave me hell for a few minutes. I'm no authority on brass & I don't reload for 7.62x54r, I was just wondering.

I peeked inside and there is only one flash hole. Not 7.62x54, 7.5x54. Completely different animal. :)

7.5MAS and 7.5 swiss are indeed 2 different critters.... I know... cause I hit the wrong button on an order from Grafs once and had to go buy a K-31 cause I thought I ordered 7.5MAS and clicked 7.5 swiss.... both are fun to shoot, neither rifle is as much fun as the M1 Garand...

You see redneck logic says if you buy the wrong brass then you need to go buy said rifle to fit what wrong brass you ordered cause you is too cheap to sell it, costs too much to send it back and plead your own ignorance for not double checking your order, and then you go put up with the grief and cost of buying said K-31.

I don't know what redenck logic says about picking up brass at the range cause most brass we pick up bubba reloads... Let's just hope you don't have to go buy either a mas or a k-31..

It is for the french MAS rifle, now that you mention it. Saw him shoot it and it looked like it shot very nice.

Dang...got my hopes up with all that 7.5 swiss talk :bash:

DAA,
Any reason to buy a K31 is a good reason. I was after you to buy one way before you messed up that brass order. That was just God's way of getting you to buy a fine shooting rifle.
For what it is worth Huntingtons still has the 7.7 Swiss brass from grafs. At least they still show it. Not a bad price either. More than what graf was selling it for but that was before it was all gone and the brass market went up.
