Reminding me that I have an Arisaka too. The stock is pretty ugly but the bore is good and it looks functional.

Do you load your own ammo? Got any good load suggestions?

I load my own ammunition

I was using Norma cases and 41 grains of N140 with an S&B 180 grain bullet in the T99 short rifle. The T99 long was fed with 40 grains of N140 in 7.92x57 cases with the same bullet. Primers were CCI.

Peter.

Thanks Peter

I'll have to try loading a few rounds one of these days and see how the rifle shoots.
