huh. I always heard the hype that the Japanese round in ww2 was designed to maim, not kill, with the purpose that if you hit one guy, it takes 3 more to care for him, and if you kill him, thats all you get. one guy.

this round definately doesn't sound weak at all.

Yet another of the fallacies around Japanese ammo..... My favourite one is that Australian soldiers serving in New Guinea were told to wear their greatcoats as the 6.5x50mmSR bullets were so under powered they wouldn't penetrate the thick wool....
 
i have both of the 2 caliber ( in type 38 and 99 ) and its prety acurate and it has nothing to envy on the other ww2 bolt action i have.... the type 99 in 7.7 are my favourite shooter and collector!!!

its prety funny how those rifle has bad story about them and when we look further the story dont make any sense :)
 
I am new owner of an Arisaka type 38 wich hopefully i will receive in the mail next week. Already got thi week the reloading dies,powder,140 gr bullet and 100 220 swift brass to come monday. Cant wait:)
