I make both of them from just about anything I can get my hands on. You can make 7.65 Parabellum from 7.62 Tokarev also, but beware of Berdan primers...

Lube the 30 Mauser/Tokarev up good and run them through the 7.65 Luger sizing die, then trim to length.

After reading this, I just had to give it a try. I have a few pieces of 30 Mauser brass with boxer primers. I lubed them good with Dillon spray lube and ran them through my 30 Luger sizer....voila!!. I now have 30 Luger brass that just needs to have the neck trimmed to length. I learn something new everyday.....my problem is remembering it!!
