I know this isn't anything new, and it has been discussed here and on other sites. But I still run into shooters who don't know about this. I have a Type 38 rifle that factory ammo will not work well in. The brass will bulge in the area forward of the head, and subsequent reloading will crack the case. For this particular rifle, I had to enlarge the back end of the 6.5x50 full length die to about .460" in diameter using sandpaper wrapped around a shell. Had to be careful in keeping the taper gradual rather than a step. Then the 6.5x50 shells were made from .308Win in steps that I followed from others who have done it. This video shows the way I did it. Keep in mind that this should be done at your own risk.
