Loads for 7.65x53

I just acquired an 1891 Argentine Mauser made by Lowe. Anyone have any good 7.65x53 loads?

My Argentine is a '09 Mauser, so my loads wouldn't be recommended for use in your older firearm. Since the early Belgian ammo used 215 gr. bullets, you'll probably get best results with the longest, heaviest bullets, fired with powder charges at or near the starter loads from manuals. I'm on a curio and relic forum, I'll do some research for you.
