M-14's are great. I feel sorry for all the guys that had to trade them in for the M-16A1's back when they made the switch; it must have been tough. I have read that the Marines were very unhappy switching to .223.

My buddy and I plan on loading for his Arisaka (7.7mm) and Mauser (8mm) this summer. I suppose he'll save some serious $$ on those two. We've been making the cases for the Arisaka out of 30.06 cases, reforming them and trimming the length to spec. So far so good...
