Hodgdon lists it for use in both the 30-30 and the 8x57, but not the 7.65. That shouldn't be too hard to figure out though.

From Chuck Hawks - The 7.65x53 and 7.65x53R
(7.65 Argentine, 7.65 Belgian):

quote:
According to the Hornady Handbook, Third Edition handloaders with Argentine Mausers in excellent condition or good commercial rifles can drive the 150 grain spire point bullet to a MV of 2400 fps with 36.1 grains of IMR 3031 powder, and 2700 fps with 41.1 grains of IMR 3031. The 174 grain Round Nose bullet can be driven to a MV of 2300 fps by 36.3 grains of IMR 3031 powder, and 2600 fps by 41.7 grains of IMR 3031. These Hornady loads were developed using Norma brass and Federal 210 primers in an 1891 Mauser rifle with a 29" barrel.

The CLASSIC use for IMR3031 is 30grains behind a 170gr bullet in the 30-30.

Any rifle chambered in 30-30 that this cannot be used in shouldn't be used period.

150 gr spitzer 38.0 = 2341; 42.0 = 2577

175 gr RN 35.0 = 2156; 39.0 = 2410

180 gr. RN 35.0 = 2109; 39.0 = 2351

this data is old, so start a grain or two short.
