7.65X53

David GausepohlI don't see much on the 7.63X53 Belgian/Argentine cartridge, though there are lots of 81/09/35 Mausers out there chambered in them. With the sometimes available Hornady .312 150gr SST and a few others it is a good hunting cartridge, especially in the stronger large ring Mausers. I have one of the 1909s in this chambering and am impressed that such a modern cartridge was designed in 1881. It is essentially a forerunner of the .308, albeit with a .311/.312 bore. Thoughts? |

Nathan FosterRe: 7.65X53Hi David, yes, we get the occasional reminder in NZ, the most recent being the Peter Jackson war memorial exhibition. A lot of Kiwis and Aussies fell to the 7.65 at Gallipoli. Besides machine gun fire, the Turkish soldiers were very adept marksmen with the Mauser rifles. |

David GausepohlRe: 7.65X53Yes, just like the 7X57 was to the Amerian troups and their Krags at San Juan. But lessons were learned and we wound up with the .30-06 which served us well for two world wars.But I see very little written on load data for the 7.65X53 considering how many are out there, and in a good action to boot. |
