Guy at work has bought a 257x6.5 rifle. Tried to reload for it and the bolt stuck on the first shot. After getting the case out I checked it out and it looks like it's been improved. Not sure if they went the ackley route or another. Anyone ever fooled with something like this. It's basically a 7x57 Mauser necked down to 6.5. Barrel is stamped 257x65. Gun is an arisaka. Brass was 7x57 Mauser ppu. Medium load of imr4831 shooting a 120 prohunter.
one on the left is the fired case. Right is a 7mauser necked down
