7.65x53 Argentine Ammo Question

1
I have a chance at some non-corrosive primed surplus ammo for the 7.65 Argentine at a good price. It is made by FN in Herstal and has 78 (year of manufacture I assume) stamped on the rim. Just wondering if this would be safe to shoot in a M91 Argentine Mauser rifle. The rifle is in excellent condition. Or, is this ammo designed for the 1909 Argentine rifle made of the M98 action?

It has been almost a year since I made this post. An update: I the 200 rounds of surplus non-corrosive primed ammo and it is great looking stuff. I still have about 100 rounds left. Anyway, my M1891 rifle shoots the stuff without a hitch. There are no high pressure or case stretching signs and the stuff is pretty accurate, i.e., 1 1/4" groups if I do my part. A younger shooter could probably do even better. It will be a sad day when I run out of that ammo.
