Thanks Bluee, just read it. There's a bit of reloading data on there too.

A bit, but not much unless your willing to sign up. Here's some:

7.5x55 Schmidt-Rubin

Warning! Notes: These loads, which are estimated to be in the 40,000 to 45,000 psi range, judging from the limited amount of loading data available, produced consistent 3-shot groups at 100 yards of between one and two inches. Velocities are interpolated or extrapolated from the Hornady Handbook Vol II and corrected for barrel length. All test loads utilized neck-sized Norma brass and W-W 8 1/2-120 primers, except when noted in remarks. (Rifle Issue #37 - January, 1975)
Be Alert: Publisher cannot be responsible for errors in published load data.

125 Sierra Spitzer IMR IMR-3031 40.0 2,650
Remarks: used with CCI 200 primers

150 Speer Spitzer IMR IMR-3031 43.0 2,600

165 Sierra RN IMR IMR-4064 44.0 2,500

Cool thanks! I'll add these to my other jumble and mess around a bit with them. I've been convinced I need to use a secant ogive bullet too. The chamber is made for a very long skinny bullet and the regular tangent ogive bullets have to be seated deeply. They work fine but I bet I can get better accuracy with the longer pointy bullets.
