Little Hand Loading System For Carcano 6,5x62

[Ovidio]

Good evening gentlemen,


roughly 20 years ago I bought a hand loading system for the Carcano.
At that time I had no experience with reloading, and did't want to invest too much for a start.
I guess I found some ad in a gun magazine and so I decided to buy this VHS hand loading system.
The ad said that it was available for quite a few calibers and that, if required, sending samples of the ammo you wanted to reload, the importer could get you the system in your caliber of choice.
The VHS is extremely compact and works very well.

In the pictures below you can see the whole system, comprising a main tool for decapping, resizing and recapping, plus a secondary unit for powder filling and bullet seating (the bullet "pusher" is length-adjustable).
The resizing and decapping is done by screwing the upper part of the main unit on the lower one. Once done, you take off the shell, tap out the spent primer, put a new one in the small recess, insert the resized shell in the shell holder and turn the lower knob tu press the primer in the pocket. Easy and fast.
You then have to fill the shell with powder through the transparent or white "tube" and then seat the bullet (again through the same tube).
The white unit is "home made" from teflon in a workshop close to home, because the original one would accept only .264 bullets, while I use the original military ones in .268.
This is the only operation you have to do with a hammer.

It is slow loading, but you have everything in a very sturdy, incredibly easy to use tool. I tried to find these "dies" for other calibers lately, but I can't even find info on the Internet. It looks like this system never even existed.
Any of you knows it?
Or knows where to find it now?

Please do not kill me for the mistake in the title. I know it is 6,5x52. Just made a writing mistake.......
