Knowing Ed's bizarre taste (man after my own heart), I'm going to guess 6.5 Jap or Carcano... I certainly wouldn't laugh. I'm still going to have a modern 7.65 Argentine made up at some point if I live long enough...



The 6.5 Jap is actually a very nice, efficient little cartridge, but got saddled with the ugly Arisaka.





I forget who it was, but several years back, some gun writer mentioned having a T/C barrel made for the Jap and said it was one of the most efficient cartridges for deer he'd ever used in the Contender. I would guess it to be in the ballpark of the 6.5 JDJ.
