Ok here's the deal. I've got a nicely sported up type 38 arisaka rifle, calibre 6.5jap. As I was pondering 40 buck a box ammo today I did a little looking. The brass has the same head diameter as .308win. 6.5 is semi-rimmed, .308 not, but the extractor in this particular rifle has no problems with it. Anybody think I can get some dies and make this work?
