I have a 7.7 Japanese that's some what oversized . I know , shocking , right ?
I need a .320 for the throat and .318 for the groove , so I'm thinking a nice 321??? U will fit the bill here with the fast twist borrowed from the Czars weights on the heavy side won't be a problem to form brass fully out I've begun with , loaded on the bench waiting patiently for a day , some paper patch 311-230 NOE both check shanked and plain based and some 312-155 Lee's .
So I want to hunt the rifle so a flat point is important . It would be nice to get it in the 170-180 class and use it for a 32 Rem as cast too but that is a low priority for this and I think something in the 200 gr class will be better suited .
I'm already in this $70 for a $140 rifle so I'm not too excited about a bushing neck die or an Accurate mould at this point . Maybe if I get a piece of walnut to replace the nailed lam stock and find a deal to refit one of take off barrels .......I can only imagine the confusion of an Arisaka chambered in 7×57 or an actual 308 06' .... None of which is part of the plan today .
