I've got one my self, and this spring won "Sharpshooter" class & $25.00 with it at a military bolt gun match at my range,(200yds open sights,prone, offhand) if you want to reload for it this can be done as well by using .284 win brass and reforming it by running it through a 7.5 swiss die,Bullets, despite it being 7.5mm it will digest .308 dia bullets easily, and accurately (Bore dia on mine is .307) I've been using serria 168 gr HPBT's,and 43.00 gr imr 4064, they shoot very well, look under the buttplate, there might be a tag in there with the name of the last person that rifle was issued to, often it will have his address, and sometimes his phone #,( put it back in there and don't lose it, the Swiss consider this bad luck, as they think of it as the rifles soul) Go to www.swissrifles.com lots of info there,Lastly, don't worry about the stregnth of your rifle the Swiss have been using Schmit-Ruben's for a long time they're a lot stronger than you think, 7.5 swiss is in the same catagory as a .308, one thing on loading, these rifles have no leade in the chamber, the rifleing starts at the end of the chamber So,you want to make sure your loads are not jamming into the rifleing,your O.A.L. should'nt exceed 2.890
