Frequently Asked Questions
Hornady 6.5 Jap Ammo for Sale
What caliber is a 6.5 jap?
6.5 Jap refers to the 6.5x50mm Arisaka, adopted by the Japanese Imperial Army in 1897. It fires a .264-inch (6.5mm) projectile, typically 139–140 grains, at roughly 2,500 fps. It was chambered in the Type 30 and Type 38 Arisaka rifles.
Is .264 the same as 6.5 mm?
.264 and 6.5mm refer to the same bullet diameter—both measure approximately 6.5 millimeters. However, .264 Win. Mag. and 6.5 Creedmoor are different cartridges with different case dimensions, powder capacity, and performance characteristics.
Is Hornady ammo high quality?
Hornady produces consistently high-quality ammunition across multiple calibers. Factory loads demonstrate excellent precision—their Creedmoor rounds averaged .002" run-out with 40% measuring .001" or less, meeting professional handloading standards. Hornady offers reliable performance for hunting and range use at competitive pricing.
