Argentine Mauser from 30-06
I recently aquired my first 1891 Mauser.
I don’t have 7.65 Mauser dies yet, but long ago I shortened a 7.7 Japanese FL die so that I could load 7.65(neck size) for a 1909 Peruvian that I had at the time.
I used 30-06 brass at first, moving the shoulder of a trimmed case back until the bolt will close.
For grins, I also converted some 7x57 brass that had previously been converted from 6mm Remington brass…..
The shoulder needed to move forward a bit on these, so with 3 grs of AA#2, paper, corn cob tumbling media, and old orphan primers- I fireformed them in vertical position.
Thank You, Push Feed Mauser!
I’ll post some pics later on.

Here are the formed cases next to a surplus case.
When my proper dies arrive, I’ll just use 30-06 brass since I have quite a bit of it.
