Got a 6.5 jap carbine (type 38) last weekend and using the group buy mold from awhile back I plan on working up some loads for it. I don't have any brass just yet but I plan on making brass from 22-250 as well as .270 winchester range pick up brass. I'll turn down the "belt" i get after running them through a die on the lathe so it should be a pretty clean case. Somebody recommended rechambering it to 6.5-06 but the rifle being a carbine I think I'll hold off on that for now. Though I would like to barrel one of my Mauser actions in 6.5-06 but thats down the road some.
Anybody have 6.5 Jap dies that are collecting dust they might be willing to sell before I bite the proverbial bullet and buy lee dies from midway?
