Thread: 300 Blackout Fired In 223

Greetings All,
There were also stories about a 6.5 mm Arisaka being rechambered for the .30-06 after WW2. The owner hunted with it and shot a few deer with it but the recoil was major. He took it to a gunsmith who discovered the problem. He was using standard .30-06 rounds and the pill was being swaged down to 6.5 in the barrel. I believe that this was written up in the NRA Journal at the time. Amazingly the action took the beating but not the hunters shoulder.
Regards Grandpamac.
