7.65 French reloading

[Shey]

Looking for brass or options for 7.65 French/7.65x20/7.65 Longue. I know Starline produces the brass but currently cannot find it anywhere. Maybe cut down 30 carbine, hate to do that, any other thoughts? Specs show rimless straight, SSP and was originally a steel case. Already have the projectiles/bullets. Thanks ODT

You loading for a 1935? The only option other than Starline is to use cut down .32 mag or .32 Long cases that have an extractor groove machined into them, while also cutting the rim off.

Yes sir 1935 pistol. Still searching for the Starline. Seems like cutting down 30 carbine should work, what am I missing?

Never heard of .30 Carbine being used. Had the opportunity to buy a few of those pistols years ago and I passed.....Like a fool. You can load them to right at .32 Magnum specs in an autoloader. The design was the inspiration for the Sig P210 as well. Really cool pistols.
