Interestingly, the Belgium 7.65X54 is actually the same caliber but one nation calls it a 54 the other a 53.
They are certainly well made guns and if in decent shape a good buy.
A rare Argentine 1909 sniper will be considerably more expensive to say the least but they are extra sweet!!
When converting 3006 cases I recommend Lake City match as first choice.
It is softer and therefore more pliable holding up well.
I find Federal to be another good one to convert but LC regular and any other more brittle makes should be avoided as they only last 3-4 firings before they start to split and converting them is too much work to get that little reward, IMO
