    7.7 Arisaka

    Does anyone have a good cast load for a 7.7 type 99 Arisaka? I presently shoot Hornandy .312 spire point J bullets with great accuracy. I have an old lyman book that lists some very low power cast loads. Additionally I will probably need a mold that casts .312" or slightly larger. I have loaded it to lower velocity with .311 cast bullets with 308 gas checks with some success.

    I use the Lyman 314299 mold sized to .314 and 16.5 grains of 2400.
    Can ring a 10" steel gong at 200 yds all day long off the bench.
