Thank you for your comments and suggestions. I know about the weakness of the action, I also have a 93 mauser in 7x57 and its weaknesses also. Just recieved a new Adams&Bennett 7x57 barrel for the 93 and look forward to getting it back to shooting condition, it will be in a manlicher stock I am building and I'm going to camo it with a air brush, instead of blueing I will brown it like the old muzzleloaders. The 7.65 wil be my truck gun left as is with the addition of a scope. Will have to do with testing both the 150 and 180gr bullets to see which is the most accurate. Thanks RickyD for the web site, I also was thinking of using 3031 for loads and 4350 also. Very much appreciated the info, you Guys are great and glad to be a member of a great group of enthusiasts.
