Winshotgun,

The only company I know of that loads for the 7.65mm Argentine is Norma.  They have a 174 gr. hunting load that will work and can be purchased through Black Hills Shooters Supply.  Their web site is http://www.bhshooters.com/ just click on the Norma link and make sure to click on the British Flag in the Norma site to get the site in English.  Personally I reload for my 7.65mm Argentine and I make my own brass from surplus .30-06 brass.  Lawdog

Hornady is now manufacturing  brass and loaded ammo for the 7.65x53 Arg. I think Graf and Son is the supplier. If my memory serves me correct, the loaded ammo is around 20.00 a box of 20. Much cheaper than Norma. I haven't tried the loaded ammo just the brass. It seems to be of good quality. Good luck, Roger.

Rojelio,

Where di you find a listing for 7.65mm Argentine Mauser Hornady ammo/brass?  I went through their web site and could find no mention of loaded ammo or even brass.  The only mention of a bullet that would work is a .3105" 174 gr. FMJ.  Not suitable for hunting deer type critters.  I would like to buy a box for testing if you will tell where they can be found.  Lawdog

Rojelio,

Thanks for the reply.  I ordered a box of ammo for my 7.65mm and will tell you how they work after I tear one apart.  Lawdog
