Pet loads for 7.65 mauser

Just what the topic says, I'd like to "pick your" collective brains for some information to help give me a starting point for working up some mild to midrange powered loads for this rifle.

My first milsurp was an Argie.  Tried cast bullets and still haven't found anything this one likes.  .313" jacketed aren't much better.  Threw together some plinking loads one day with Win 123 gr PSP (SKS/AK bullets) and a starting load of Win 748 and it now does 3" at 100 yards.  I was ecstatic since I was on paper at 100!!!  Haven't tried tweeking this load, but plan on using it for deer this year.  HAven't made it yet though...

No I haven't slugged my bore or any of those other fact finding items.  I'm just having fun with this.
