Hi guys I have a Jap 6.5 type 38 rifle. The only reason I bought it was I have a real good old neighbor that was like a grandpa to my children. When he died his wife gave me a picture of him on one of the islands, holding a very worn torn Jap flag and a TYPE 38 rifle. Sooooo, I'm kinda making a MEMORIAL for him on a wall with the picture and the same flag he's holding and the TYPE 38. He was ARMY MOP UP after the Marines took an island. He served on all islands the marines took. Told me some wild stories. But of course for me I have to enjoy shooting everything I own, so I just slugged the bore .269 is the measurement I get. Do you know anyone that might have some .270 boolits cast GC 140gr. I posted on CastBoolits 5 days ago and no hits from anyone there. Found out the .264 140gr hornady boattails don't work!
Thanks for any help!
This was a trainer rifle as it has 00 in front of serial#. And 3 O's stamped in the MUM. Still figured it should shoot decent with the right recipe.
