Big mistake! Get the Lee dies - they are perfectly OK for resizing ammo fired in your rifle. The RCBS dies cost more than the typical price I pay for a rifle.

Sorry for shrieking, but you are probably thinking of the Hornady 0.268" bullets. Which have also caused a fair amount of forum correspondence. The correct (nominal) diameter would be 0.264". You had better sieve through this forum and the reloading forum for info on reloading for the Carcano. To shoot regularly with a Carcano you need to be either rich or a competent reloader. Start learning now!
