Turns out this rifle was rechambered to 257 Roberts. No identifying was done to the weapon, either. Found out that 6.5 Jap will chamber and fire in a 257 Roberts, tho.

I stupidly believed the seller's description that it was still chambered in the original 6.5 Jap. I doubt he ever knew it had been rechambered. Took it out and shot it at a target about 50 yards away and never hit it; I thought that was odd. Ejected the brass that had fireformed to the new chamber. Pulled the gun apart and could find nary a mark that would indicate it had been rechambered.

It resized the bullet on the way out.
