41 Swiss Vetterli

e-bear · June 29, 2021, 12:37 PM

A friend came by the other day with a 41 Swiss Vetterli and was wondering about reloading for it. He has a CF firing pin installed and a box of new cases.
That's a new one for me.
I cant seem to find any info on dies, shell holder, bullets or data. any help would be appreciated.

A discontinued die from RCBS shows that cases can be made from .348 Winchester brass,

Lee has a two die set that is even in stock (29 June 2021) at https://fsreloading.com/lee-precisio...l?search=90411 at $33.

These sets usually come with some load data though for this it will likely be black powder.

8 mm Lebel cases from Privi work fine and are much cheaper and easier to find than 348 .
