If you own a Schmidt-Rubin, a K31 carbine, or one of the many surplus rifles chambered in 7.5x55mm Swiss, finding fresh, quality-made fodder can be the hard part. PPU (Prvi Partizan) solves that with their Metric Rifle line, a 174-grain full metal jacket boat tail load that closely follows the legendary GP 11 specification the Swiss built their reputation on. You get a muzzle velocity around 2,525 fps and roughly 2,470 ft-lbs of energy, which lines up nicely with what these rifles were designed to shoot.
The boat tail bullet is the real story here. That tapered base helps the projectile hold velocity and stay stable downrange, which is a big part of why the GP 11 pattern earned a name for precision. Prvi has been building ammunition in Serbia since 1928, and this load uses standard .308-diameter bullets over a clean-burning, non-corrosive powder charge. Feeding, extraction, and ignition are all dependable, so you can spend your time reading the wind instead of babysitting your rifle.
One of the best reasons to run PPU over surplus is the case. This is fresh brass with boxer priming, which means once you've fired it you can trim, resize, and reload it with common dies and off-the-shelf components. A lot of the old military surplus out there is berdan-primed and a headache to reuse, so if you're a handloader, this ammo does double duty as a brass source. Medium burn-rate powders tend to work well in this cartridge, giving you a solid foundation to build custom loads.
This is a target, training, and competition load through and through. The full metal jacket bullet is non-expanding and built for putting rounds on paper and steel, making it a natural fit for vintage military rifle matches and casual bench sessions alike. Shooters who run these through a good K31 regularly report tight, satisfying groups at 100 yards and beyond. Stock up a few boxes and get to know your Swiss rifle the way it was meant to be shot.
Yes, this load is built to the 7.5x55mm Swiss (GP 11) specification, so it's a natural fit for K31 carbines, Model 1911 and 96/11 Schmidt-Rubin rifles, and other guns chambered for the cartridge. The 174-grain bullet and roughly 2,525 fps velocity mirror the service ammunition these rifles were designed around. Many owners run it as their go-to range and match load.
It is. PPU uses fresh boxer-primed brass, which reloads easily with standard dies and common .308-diameter bullets. That's a real advantage over a lot of the old berdan-primed surplus 7.5×55, and it makes this ammo a good brass source for handloaders.
The boat tail refers to the tapered base of the bullet, which reduces drag and helps the projectile retain velocity and stability at longer distances. It's a big reason the GP 11 pattern earned its reputation for accuracy. For target and competition work, that downrange consistency is exactly what you want.
This is a full metal jacket load designed for target shooting, training, and competition, so the bullet is non-expanding. For hunting, you'd want a soft point or expanding bullet instead. PPU also offers a 174-grain soft point in this caliber if that's what you're after.
