Doing some testing with the Swiss K31. This is probably my favorite rifle for 300-600 yard shooting with open sights.

Hello from Switzerland, I don't know whether the GP 11 is really no longer manufactured, but I can hardly imagine, because the Stgw 57 (SIG 510) and practically all its predecessors used the GP 11 (along with the MG 51, which was only used during service was handed over to the troops). Personal weapons (i.e. carbines, assault rifles) are permitted for shooting events (particularly the popular field shooting ["Feldschiessen"] ) and ammunition is provided, so the army must have enough supplies or be able to obtain them. According to the websites, they are still being distributed offered.

Lapua scenar 155gr L is the bullet you are looking for, it's more about bullet length than weight. Had great results with Sellier Bellot 174gr fmj too

Lucky for sure! Though this rifle seems to shoot just about any load well.

Hey my friend. Great video as usual. Just an FYI. Bell & Carlson stocks are 15% off right now for the July 4th sale. If you’re looking to restock that Mini Howa 6.5 Grendel they are available.

What size is the slip on recoil pad?

Got any idea on subsonic loads for the k31? Finally got one of barreled actions I bought years ago threaded and want sub ammo now obviously. The gp11 is still spicy and ppu still mild spicy

Sounds like fun! I’d probably try subsonic loads for .308 Win. Trail Boss doesn’t really exist anymore unfortunately, or I’d suggest it. My only experience with light loads in full-power cartridges is with .308 in an old Spanish Mauser. I believe I went off of Hodgdon’s data for reduced loads (excellent resource, BTW) and had a super mild recoiling load with IMR 4198 and 125gr HPs going about 2200fps. I’d bet it would suppress about as well as .300 BLK supers, probably a little better because of the longer barrel. Email me for that Hodgdon reduced load paper if you can’t find it pretty quickly on the web.

How sad that GP11 is so rare these days. It is the best shooting surplus ammo I've ever come across. Wasn't even 15 years ago when it was plentiful and only 50 cpr.

Try using Varget or IMR 4064 for sub MOA. If your trying to match the GP 1100, 175 sera match king with 45 grn of Varget, Sera 168 with Varget also gives amazing accuracy. Redding sizing die is the ONLY die set for reloading the K-31.
