    shot it

    after run about a thousand patches with gi bore cleaner thru it took it back to range got a great group at 50 yards off bench. at 100 yrds was not to good. seams like the 1947 ammo might be at fault. only had 2 no goes out of a 50 round box so i dont think thats too bad. working on a set of dies right now for it

    Midway has dies - Lee Pacesetter 7.65 Argentineicon Mauser; I have a set and they work great !
    Glad you got to shoot it ! Both of mine will put 5 under 2" @ 50 yds and 4" @ 100, with military iron sights. I still need to tailor some loads, I think (hopefully) I can bring them down a bit.
    Next time you shoot it... run some rounds through it and then run wet patches while the barrel is still hot, that will take out years of dirt !!
