Seems a strange time to be looking for ammunition, but the fresh slew of Italian surplus carbines and rifles have been appearing as of late at reasonable prices.
What has not been reasonable is this complex atmosphere of Covid and ever restrictive arms restrictions.
Im pretty sure other national arms of not common calibers are still to be found.
The 6.5 carcano utilizes a .268" bullet diameter.
Is it possible to swage down .277" .270 winchester slugs to .268"?

I use a Lee bullet sizing die to swage .338 bullets down to .329 for a 95 Steyr with no problem whatsoever!

Last I looked PPU makes both ammunition in 6.5x52mm Carcano and bullets for reloading Carcano in .268 inch size. Currently supply chain is gefluey so who knows?

I just looked, only Carcano ammo available is going for $3/rnd!!! I have 160 rnds left from the last time I bought some, it wasn't $3/rnd at the time
