Nope, these are the .311" bullets from Speer made for the .303 I believe.

Thanks!
I have two argys, one a sporterized 1909 from Germany, that has a .311 bore and another full stocked ARgy made carbine on the 98 action that has a .309 bore. That is why I asked!

regards,
graycg

I shot the 43 gr. load again today at 100 yards for the first time, all previous shooting has been at 50 yards. The sights were a little off so first shot to the left about 4" and 3" high, adjusted too far and went right about 4" from bull, adjusted back 1/2 way and dead center 3" high. Lowered sight one full turn and shot two more rounds before Noah's rains came, dead center .830" center to center. I know that's only two round but I'm feeling really good about this load now.

GrayCG: the 1909 Argentine Mauser, nothing more than a good 1898, was imported from Germany and also made at several local factories for many years, a 7.65 x 53 in origin. These guns were sporterized in a bunch of different ways. The national arms factory, until 1974 offered 2 persuasions: one in 7.65 like the Oberndorf and another in 308 Winchester. Both were sporting carbines with new stocks and even scopes.
Thus you may have a .311/313 bore in the 7.65 and a .309 bore in the 308. You should diferentiate the 1909, which is a true 98, from the 1891, a previous and weaker action.
Hope this helps.

Put the pic up, I'm always interested in seeing what guns will do.

OK - It shoots 165-grain .308 bullets like this: MV +2900 FPS from 29" barrel







And 200-grain bullets like this: MV 2680 FPS from 29" barrel. Note that this is a "composite group" of both Sierra and Nosler 200-grain (.308") bullets:
