The 7.65 Argentine cartridge is called by several other names as well:
  • 7.65 Mauser;
  • 7.65x53 Mauser;
  • 7.65 Belgian Mauser.

Originally designed for use in the Belgian 1889 Mauser rifle, many other countries adopted this cartridge in their military arms including:

  • Spain;
  • Turkey;
  • Bolivia;
  • Colombia;
  • Ecuador;
  • Paraguay; and
  • Peru.

Per Krause Publication's Cartridges of the World they state that the 7.65 Argentine Mauser is probably one of the better Mauser cartridges ever made when it comes to accuracy. The 7.65 Argentine cartridge is very similar in overall specifications and performance to the 7.62 NATO cartridge as the image and comparison table show below.

Cases can be formed from .30-06, .270 Winchester, 7mm Mauser, and 8mm Mauser brass cases and should be trimmed to be no longer than an overall length of 2.11 inches.
