The Hornady .312 150 and 175 grain bullets were originally designed for handloading for the 7.7 Japanese rifles. These work very nicely in .303 handloads as well.

Many years ago I got one of my Arisakas converted to .22-250 Ackley Improved and sporterized it. It turned out really well and it is amazingly accurate too. I was using it for varmint hunting for a while, at least until shooting Prairie dogs became a bad thing. The gunsmith who did the barrel work drilled and tapped it for a scope for me.
Didn't Pres Obama sign an executive order for BATF that put a lot of onerous restrictions on gunsmithing? If the gunsmith work improves the guns accuracy, it comes under new restrictions. They have to pay additional fees etc and thus it likely put more gunsmiths out of business, as only the larger gunsmiths could afford it.
