The other day I found some 1x fired .270Win. brass at the range, which I reformed into 7.65 x 53mm cases to fit the Argentine Mauser. Once I did that and reloaded it, I searched my ammo safe for more of the same, which I thought I'd use since our range closes for deer season at sunset on Friday. The rifle wears a receiver sight + a front sight from a Swedish Mauser and is a decent shooter, in spite of a so-so barrel. I've long known what works best in it: either Ly. #314299 @ .313" or a CBE "fat" Loverin also at .313". Btw, I also tried the Lee #30-150-TL unsized, (plain base, group buy over there), but no joy. Here's a photo of the CBE ~195gr. Loverin* results from earlier today. (I used 12.5gr. of Unique). AAll shooting was @ 50 yd. with a front rest and rear bag.
P.S. I bought the mould from CBE when Jim Allison (NSW, Oz) still owned the company and there were few custom mould makers who would cut one to that dimension. I'm thinking that CB sans GC may also shoot well.
