Marstar 7.65 Luger ammo question

[Zygy]

I,m just wondering if this ammo can be shoot in Broomhandle pistol?
Is it similar to 7.63 Mauser?
I,m trying to find out a cheap source of the ammo for my new gun...
The bore in the gun I bought is in the pore condition and I don't think it keeps 7.63 calibration.

7.65 Luger is absolutely not interchangable with 7.73 Mauser. And don't shoot 7.62x25TT in a Broomhandle, either.

Buy some new, or get someone to make it for you.

Fiochi is making knew ones or try ellwood epps in ontario they a site for old ammo.
But don't even think of using anything else than 7.63 mauser

30 Luger is the 9mm case necked down to shoot a smaller bullet. Nothing else is similar or interchangeble. If you can't buy it maybe it can be made from 9mm caes. I say "maybe" because I have not checked too see if the resulting case lenth would be correct. important for a case that headspaces on the case mouth.
