Half of the world is dumber than average...Gunsmith had a customer bring in a 6.5 Arisaka he had rechambered to .30-06. He knew how to use a reamer, but apparently couldn't do math. Amazing thing is it did not blow up but "kicked awful hard". Arisakas are butt ugly, but until the japs ran out of good steel, they were hell for sturdy.

I imagine he meant to re-chamber a 7.7 Arisaka and didn't know that 6.5 ones existed.

Supposedly and surprisingly, the good ones were about the toughest military bolt action of their era. The guy must have thought he had the 7.7mm.
