I'd read several times about this process, but this is the first actual video I've found on the matter, and hey look, it's from an organization of which I am a member! Being able to feed my grandfather's bring-back will be interesting. It hasn't been fired since 1945, insofar as I am aware, though it's been cleaned every decade or so in the interim.
Very simple and not using machinery like some of the others. I like it and thank you for sharing how you do it. I knew they could be converted just wanted to see how other people do it. Great video
i just picked up my type 99 today. would you say fire forming the converted case is important for accuracy? i just dont want to waste powder and a good projectile loading them properaly if ou need to fire form them ufrst to get anything useable out of them

better late than never, if you’re asking if the converted arisaka ammo is accurate, then yes it is just as accurate as the original
@insertuserhere1748 thanks. I ended up just loading them full power. All my brass has been fired so eitherway it's fire formed now lol
What primers do you use for 7.7x58? Is it the same stuff
Large rifle primers
