What cartridge was the 09 Argentine Mauser chambered in? Does it have a .473 rim diameter? Seems like it was a 7. something cartridge. Just curious about feeding with different cartridges. jmbn Old and in the way | ||

7.65x53mm as I remember | |||

Yes, 7.65x53. I have one and have only shot it at the range, but it seems to be a very capable cartridge. I have the PPU 174gr. SP. I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills. Marcus Cady DRSS | |||

I have a 09 Arg action re-barrel to 257 roberts Ackley imp and it feeds smooth as can be with no alterations | |||

The 7.65 cartridge was a Mauser development, unlike the 8mm, which wasn't, and was originally designed for the Belgian 1889. Later used in the 1891 Argentines, and others. It is a great cartridge, and really, there was no need for any subsequent military cartridges. The 7.92 x57 was developed by a German Small Arms Commission to which Mauser was not invited. The 1909 Argentine actions are very well made, but some can be soft, and I do not use them for magnum cartridges. Some clients want them re heat treated; I usually don't for standard cartridges. | |||

Yep, and that 7.65, if used with today's selection of powders, can get .308-like performance. My 7.65 is an older, 1891 model, not a '98 Mauser, so I can't load that hot, but it's still a shooter! Doug Wilhelmi NRA Life Member | |||

War story; I used to shoot 7.62 Nato ammo out of my 09 Argentine carbine. It makes a very short neck, but works fine. (I had access to lots of it and didn't have a 308, at the time.) Shot it out of an 03 Springfield too; makes a very long 45 case! | |||

Snowman- I rebarreled mine to 6.5-284, and with a bit of grinding and polishing of the follower it feeds like snot on a doorknob. Thought long and hard about a 6.5X57, but the availability of Lapua brass won out. No regrets. jmbn Old and in the way | |||

7.65x53. Argentine and Belgian Mauser cartridge. I had a commercial FN Mauser action barreled in this cartridge. I still have it, although I've shot it little. I do have lots of ammo for it. I think it's a great cartridge. Every year I plan on using it more. Next season I'll sight it in and use it on deer and hogs. ************* “Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.” George Orwell, 1984 https://www.google.com/search?...sclient=gws-wiz-serp Degenerate 1:1 1 Then Trump said, "Let Us re-make a Nation in MY Image, after My likeness, to rule over everything in the Nation, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it".
