7.65X53mm Argentine Ammo For Sale From Ammo Vendors
7.65 Argentine ammo is also known as 7.65x54mm Argentine rimless, 7.65mm Argentine, 7.65x53mm Belgian Mauser, or 7.65mm Belgian (in the United States) and 7.65x53mm Mauser (in Belgium). Its ballistic performance is very similar to the .308 Winchester cartridge.
The 7.65×53mm Mauser was the result of considerable experimentation by Paul Mauser to optimize the bullet diameter for use with the new smokeless propellant introduced as Poudre B in the 1886 pattern 8mm Lebel that started a military rifle ammunition revolution.
The 7.65×53mm Mauser has 3.70 ml (57.1 grains H2O) cartridge case capacity. The exterior shape of the case was designed to promote reliable case feeding and extraction in bolt action rifles and machine guns alike, under extreme conditions.
