Case forming - 6.5mm Japanese Arisaka

[MOO1072]

I have a friend with a 6.5 Japanese Arisaka rifle. Ammunition is hard to get for the 6.5 Jap, so does anyone have any experience with case forming this calibre from other calibres?

Midway and Grafs sell Norma brass. Not cheap. Grafs also has Prvi brass (currently out of stock), and Hornady loaded ammo that costs less than the Norma brass.

You cant form it out of anything really.There is a way with 220 swift brass or something similar but the case will be weak.Just buy the brass ,that is the safest way period.I would go with the hornady myself.Norma is good but to expensive.

Thanks. I will check out the Hornady option.

George Nonte talks about forming brass for the Arisaka in his book about case-forming.
