Perhaps NAMMO is producing bullets for the newer guns in 7.65mm. Both my Browning Hi-Power and my Bennelli B-80 have .308" groove diameters. My original Lugers are in the .310" - .311" range. A box of 93 grain Norma bullets that I bought back in the late 1960's were .309". I routinely swage .312" bullets down to .310" for use in my Lugers.

I'm waiting now for a rebarreled "cannon" to arrive from Hugh Clark who installed a new Numrich 6 inch barrel in .30 Luger. The picture he sent shows a REALLY nice-looking setup. (To my eyes, a six inch tube on the Luger is the perfect balance for looks.) I'm pretty sure the new barrel will be bored for .308" bullets but I'll check it just to be certain.
