Glad to see your still making videos 😊. I only have 15 rounds of 6.5x50mm left. Hard to get sometimes. But i do have over 600 rounds of 156 grain blank ammo from proxy bid. I shot off a few yesterday for the 4th lol. Didn’t have ear protection, so my ears were ringing lol. (Edit) i have been looking into reloading myself, but i need to read up and study more before i do.
Could you make me around 20
Helllo TheKoba49, I liked your video . I reload 303 British for my lee Enfield’s/Ross and I have no issues . What works best for me is I fire form to chamber with factory ammo , then take the spent cases and neck size them with lee collet dies.
I had a small bench lathe and made 6.5 Japanese from new .303 British brass. Best to use Winchester because it is usually on the small side. I made a small tool to cut down the rim and deepen the extractor cut. I split a case and the internals are almost identical.
Thank you again Sir. Watched all videos on 50/70. Well have an old Arisaka and looking to shoot. Pull up you tube and there you are. My trust in your knowledge is great. Thanks again.
I bought Norma at half price on sale, same cost as PPU brass. Hornady 11th edition and earlier books are INCORRECT on load data for 140 gr ELD bullets. They list the H4831 powder incorrectly. Max you can get is about 47 gr into the case before you end up packing in powder into pressure spike. The Case Overall Length are also TOO SHORT, causing rounds to move forward and back in the magazine as well as bullets jumping into the throat. Make sure the rounds are loaded to MAX COL only. I have the original Japanese rounds to compare with.
Ebay will more than likely have the dies
People do claim different diameters for the 6.5 arisaka groove diameter. The italians did make some of their rifles "The Type I rifle Arisaka (イ式小銃 I-shiki shōjū) was produced during the early years of World War II for the Japanese Empire by the Kingdom of Italy (Type I is not a numeric symbol, it denominates Italian).[3][4]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_I_Rifle The Italian 6.5 was .268. Could some of the 6.5 arisakas have .268 groove diameters.
Graf’s and son’s usual has what I need. They always have PPU in stock. Still trying to copy G-11 Swiss tried several projectiles but setting depths and thight chamber been a issue 🙂
Good video
Newbee question, if I switch my primer to Magnum primer, do I need to decrease my powder? Thank you!
Flat base/Spitzer or boat tail I have discovered can play a hand no clue what/why have an old 30-06 with new loads prints 3-4 feet with the spitzers now with a flat base bullet pretty much same hole. Awesome video
