Loved that rifle, like every other gun I traded or sold, I got nothing but regrets. I told him he only needs one moose and one caribou per year, he was good to go for another 8 years. Guy asked about Ammo, we lived in Healy and no place to get ammo for a Argentine Mauser. Sold it for $35 and threw in a box of 16 shells. In '72 I moved to Alaska and the second winter I was laid off and had to sell the rifle. He told me it doesn't matter, "you can only shoot one deer and one antelope, so you're good to go for 9 years". I questioned where I would get ammo, in the area I lived I wouldn't be able to find dies (no internet sales back then).
I was living in South Dakota at the time and the guy who sold it to me threw in a box of "18" Norma shells. Got my brother hooked and he had a couple.įinely found on, totally original and clean. My father was a big fan, he had a sporterized version he used for all his hunting. Makes you wonder why the military spent so much time developing the 7.62 x 51.might have just necked the 7.65 x 53 down to 7.62 and went on. The last six, seated at 2.875 OAL, were clustered together in a little bit over an inch. I had a little trouble getting the bullet length set.the first 4 SMK's were seated too deeply because I back the seating die off sufficiently.
Here is one of my '09's with a target showing the results of combining 40 grains of IMR and a 174 gr SMK bullet.
I tend to shoot my '09 Argentines more than the '91's for some of the reasons that he notes. The 7.65 x 53 cartridge is very similar to the 7.61 x 51 and as Ceresco notes very easy to load for. I think most men and Spaniards in particularly, were about 4' 9'' in 1891. I have noted the trigger pulls are terrible in part due to the loose bolt fit (like the Mosin Nagants) and the stock fit makes the Argentine Mausers almost impossible for me to use in prone without an elevated front and rear sight. The 7.65mm cartridge is a very modern design and easy to load. They are, in their issue condition, exceptionally well-made rifles.
