And obtained this ammo, I would be interested in knowing if this calibre exists 76,2x165r or is a pod cut away of 385mm, the shot is HE

Hi Saludos,
There are a few rounds of 75/76mm and 165/166m mm cases, so certainly plausible its not a cutdown case
I suggest you post some pictures and I'vo no doubt someone will be able to tell you what it is.

Does it look like this for sale on eGun now? - http://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=3849659

Cheers
 
The 76.2x166 has a 87 mm rim while the 76.2x385 has a 90 mm rim, so they are easily distinguished.

I held this case in my hand. Don't worry, this is original 76,2x165R case, not a cutted 76,2x385R!
