Yep, making Argie brass from 30-06 is easy,as Gil described.
You may find your reloads crack at the neck after 3-4 loadings. The reason is, you're cutting off the annealed part of the 30-06 case, so, you may want to anneal case necks after you cut them down and size them. Then they'll last a bit longer.
Remember, too, that the 1891 isn't as strong as the later 1909 model Argentine, so don't hot rod the handloads. The 7.65x53 is an excellent cartridge- there's no real need to hot rod it.
You probably already know the correct bullet diameter is .311, not .308. . . .
