There is also such ammo for the Carcanos. Now it is collector's stuff...

For the loads I'm using, I found that amazon.it, Mcallister.it and probably also Brownells.it have them.
Maybe ebay could be helpful too.

Just use a box for the catch. Yes, the primers back out.

Just the normal Small Pistol primers?
