  Here 'ya go. It will get you started. Unlike some import stuff, the Fiocchi is loaded with the C-96 (or M-30) mauser in mind. The ad says 'Luger', but disregard that. (The seller doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground). Best, Joe
  
  PS..Stay away from Eastern Bloc mil. issue rounds, as some were loaded too hot for your workhorse. Here's the link. Good luck!

  .PRVI 7,63 Mauser works well. Serbian made. The price is also reasonable considering even common 9mmP price is soaring these days.
  
  Here is one supplier:

  Ten round muzzle speed: high 1346 fps, low 1297 fps, average 1322 fps. So it is also pretty safe to shoot on Mauser.
  
  Fun in target shooting!

  I've had no problems with the prvi 7.63, but it seems more people shoot the fiochi. prvi costs less, and the price at AIM is VERY good.
  
  forgot to mention;
  bullets and dies are available for reloading. I bought them on the auction side last month
