Looking for 7.65 Mauser ammo?

[quinnjoblow]

A Buddy has had a mint Argentine Mauser in 7.62 for 15yrs and wants to shoot it at the range. Does anyone know where he can get ammo for it? Would like to pick it up locally(southern Ontario) or have it shipped.
Im sure I could could get a chance to blam off a few rounds if I could help him get some.

Ellwood Epps, a banner sponsor. Ask for 7.65 Argentine

Where in Southern Ontario? Goble's, in London, might have some. Shooter's Choice, in Waterloo, might as well. Norma and Privi Partizan appear to be the only current manufacturers.

Ya my bad! Its 7.65 Mauser not 7.62. I never thought of Epps or Gobles. Probably find a good set of used reloading dies at Epps as well. I imagine if its Norma ammo it will be expensive hunting ammo. Thanks for the help

"...if its Norma ammo it will be expensive..." Yep. You won't find milsurp ammo anywhere though. Uses a .313" bullet, when you get that far.
"...set of used reloading dies..." Maybe, but Epp's may have new dies.
Have a look at this. http://www.surplusrifle.com/argentinemauser1909carbine/ammunition.asp

7.65 Argentine, yes use .312-.313 bullets, you can easily make your cases from .308 brass.
