Like Jim Watson says, it's a 7.65 X 53 Argentine(same thing as the Argentine rimless, 7.65 mm Argentine, 7.65×53mm Belgian Mauser or 7.65 mm Belgian) made in 1965. Use a .311" bullet just like a .303 Brit.
FMSF is Fábrica Militar de San Francisco, San Francisco, Argentina.

Having but one cartridge can be considered a reason to buy a rifle for it.
