Bill, I don't know that there is that much difference in the two. According to Shannon's Reloading 'Sticky' on the reference section, original muzzle velocity for military ball was around 2500 fps. Trey

I didn't pay to much for that old Arisaka, I just bought it a little bit too soon!

Are you talking about a Type I rifle? I bought, some years ago, 100 rounds of Norma and have been reloading and firing them out of my type I. I have reloaded these 4 times and the brass still checks out fine. It is also a very accurate rifle.
