    The Carcano will be in 7.35x51 then, which is pretty much a reloading only round. Basically Italyicon came up with this cartridge which was better than 6.5 Carcano. However due to wartime constraints it was decided it would be better to ditch the 7.35 and stick with 6.5 for logistical reasons (more rifles were in 6.5, and they didn't want to have two standard issue calibers on the go at the same time). As such many 7.35 rifles went to Finland to assist the Finnishicon in fighting the Russians.
