I picked up this rifle in 7.65x53 Argentine a few weeks ago. I have bought and fired PPU 174 grain FMJ factory ammo in it with good results. However this is both expensive and hard on the shoulder in such a small light weight gun. I am looking to work up some cast bullet loads for it. I want to use it the vintage military rifle matches run at our local range. I have been looking at the 185 grain .312 Lee mold for the .303 Brit. I was wondering if anyone here has tried this bullet in the 7.65 Argentine and if 30 cal. gas checks will work with it as well. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
