Hi all,

Currently I am trying to slowly pick away at writing a generalized book on military rifles and pistols from roughly the invention of smokeless powder until roughly the 1950-60s (basically bolt actions to early semi-automatics).

Basically my question is as I have been having a very hard time finding any information on it is what is the official designations for 7.65x53 in Peruvianicon, Argentine and Belgiumicon use?

I know the three types were the initial bullet with the 210grn round nose at 2133ft/sec, the later spitzer bullet with a 150grn bullet travelling at 2723ft/sec, and the final version which was a 174grn boat-tail spitzer bullet at about 2400ft/sec.

I am not sure which versions were adopted by who and when, and what each country designated it (such as say M89 or M91 etc.). For example Peru might have only used the first two listed, and never adopted the 174grn, I just don't know.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
