Reloading Dies can be found at Midway USA.
Reloading
components uses .308 bullets.
Brass - Very
difficult to find.
If you use .284 Win to make 7.5 MAS it will require that the case
head be reduced .020" and the primer pocket be recut. It can be done.
If 6.6x55 Swede is used, simply pass the brass thru a full length 7.5x54 MAS
die, check length, chamfer and load. It can be done easily.
30-06 brass works well too. There'll be a slight bulge in front of the case head
after first firing, and some fairly serious case length reduction will be
needed, but with a power case trimmer or a mini tubing cutter it's no biggie. I
like using U.S. GI brass because I have about 150 pounds of it left from a
garbage can full I was given in the 60's.
Powder - IMR 4064 and H4895
