Reloading for the 1891 Carcano, Part 2

[jmoore]

I did fire ten rounds of 160 gr. Hornady .264 bullets after the incident.

I'm curious as to what sort of accuracy was obtained with the 0.264" bullets.

I'm also curious what the bore, esp. at the throat, looks like. You wouldn't have a borescope available for inspection purposes would you?

Thanks for showing the fired case details!

In my Model 1891 made in 1896, the .264 Nosler partitions work well. Here is a photo of my 100 yard target. I installed a Brownell Mauser high front sight, but had not corrected it for elevation or windage. I fired the five shot group, the last being the high flyer - durn. I've included a photo of the four WWI period rifles I have - 1891 Nagant made in 1917 by Remington, 1896 Krag made in 1898, 1896 Swede made in 1899, and the 1891 Carcano made in 1896 by Terni.
