[QUOTE="fubarjohnnyr, post: 3705590, member: 25570"] I've used 30-06 brass to reload into 7.7 Arisaka, it isn't easy but doable. I trimmed the cases first, anneal the neck and shoulder, resize neck and shoulder then lightly loaded cast bullets to fire form the brass to the chamber of the rifle. Reload brass to your specs. Only issue you'll have is the chamber of the 7.7 is slightly larger than the 30-06 up around the webbing of the brass case and they will swell out a ring which obviously shortens brass life. Fire forming load was 130gr cast bullet with 10gr of bullseye, and final load was 180gr Hornady RN backed with 39.00gr of IMR 4064. [/QUOTE]
