The idea that someone would buy something as old, low volume, expensive, and specific without knowing what round it shot just doesn't make sense.
How many 1911 descriptions simply say ".45" instead of ".45 ACP"? Anyone buying a 1911 is going to expect the ACP round, unless you specify a variant in another chambering. Just like if you're shopping for an early 60s Corvette and see a "283" advertised, you don't complain that it's misleading since GM also made inline 6s about that size. If you're buying an early 60s Corvette, you already know it's a V8. |

If I remember right, the 1889, the 1911, and the k31 are all "7.5mm swiss" but the cartridge was altered for the 1911 to modernize the round. The case was lengthened slightly and the bullet diameter was increased to 7.62mm. But I could be remembering wrong. As to the 1911/ k31 choice. neither would be a bad choice, but the k31 will be cheaper and easier to find.

If you are a hand loader, can 7.5x55 brass be trimmed and formed to 7.5x53.5 and downloaded to the proper specs?

I have clicked on that link several times today. I saved it in my favorites. Doubt I will purchase it at the moment.
