hahaha Post..thanks for the generous offer!.....I'd never shoot Tok ammo, but the Mauser is tempting....it might be a project for the future when my body parts are worn out enough I can spare risking them

Yup! Great tune!

This is one of Werle's Lugers??? Per Vlim's suggestion, maybe Herbert Werle will tell you what needs to be done to make this work...I'd be interested in knowing...

Me too....if it's a safe conversion, that 7.63 in a 6 or 8in barrel would make a flat shooting field pistol.

Shooting the extractor straight up in the air, you mean???

I don't have any comparisons of the 7.65 Luger round vs the 7.63 Mauser...It would be interesting to see chamber pressure, velocity, volume, etc...

The only quick reference I have uses two different powders and two different bullet weights...but it looks like the 30 Mauser wasn't all that much different in velocity...1210 vs 1300 '/sec...

Edit - I was wrong; I do have a comparison of sorts...My 45th Edition Lyman Reloading handbook lists both cartridges, with the same three powders and two identical bullets...

(Dunno what year this was...but it's old...)

Bob, Lyman's data seems to suggest that with like bullets & powder, there is little difference between the two...
