    Load data for 6.5 Carcano

    Hello, I was fortunate to pick up a Carcano 1917 Brescia Moschetto Truppe Speciali. This is not a model 91 cut down, this one is original with the smaller sight base. It's all matching and has a great bore
    I want to reload for it. I've slugged the barrel and the .268" bullets should work fine. I shot some Privi Partisan 139 gr .264 ammo and it didn't print very well....at 50 yards. The brass is fire formed now and I'll just neck size...I'm hoping the wider Bullets will group well. Does anybody have any reload data using the Hornady 160grain .268 bullets. Any information would be appreciated.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
