I am going to look at an Arisaka Monday, and a little info might help. All I know is that it is likely a 6.5, and it is supposed to be in great condition. They are asking $125, but will probably take $100. I have searched previous posts, and found a discussion about headspace problems. Also gleaned that the 7.7 round may be easier to load for. I see that Graf's has Privi brass. I also found an article about forming cases from .35Rem brass. Basicly you run the case through a .308Win sizer, and then through the 6.5 sizer. I wonder how this would work since the 6.5 Arisaka is a semi rimmed case? Anyways, I am just looking for a fun shooter, and another caliber to load for. Any info or suggestions would be appreciated....
EDIT:
Well my buddy that told me about this rifle did not have a clue. I just called the shop and, OMG, it is an origonal Mannlicher with rotary magazine!!!!!! I need to get there before it gets gone. This is a rural gunshop. I think they don't know what they have!
