6.5x52 Carcano Ammo & 8x50r Lebel

[pcvando]

Hey,

I added the Carcano ammo to my wishlist on the site, any news when you will be getting some more? I am looking for any bullet type, but FMJ would be nice.
________________________________________________

The other ammo is 8mm Lebel Rifle ammo (ie: 8x50r lebel)

Do you know if you can order some in? I know its still made, Privi makes it too.

Thanks!

Seconded. I got an 1891/41 a few months ago and she's very hungry. I'd be willing to bet a dollar that the thing hasn't been shot while I've been alive, and I'm in my early 20's.

We need "inexpensive" ammo too.

Norma and Hornady loads are much too expensive for plinking.

Privi, S&B, whoever, as long as it goes bang, and doesn't corrode my bore in 2 shots like surplus.

Is it true?--"5/7/2015 WARNING -- KIR Has Not Been Able to Identify a Commercially Available Safe and Correct Bullet for use in Italian 6.5X52mm Carcano Rifles and Carbines. "

Anyone has experience with PPU Carcano ammo?

I shoot PPU Carcano. No issues, its perfectly safe.

What people complain about is that its a undersized bullet (perfectly safe) but some Carcanos have worn bores, so the bullets tumble. (Similar to early M16 Rifles.)
People complain of accuracy issues, technically Norma is the only one making the correct sized bullet.

But for the price... PPU all the way.

Also, some carcanos have tighter bores such as mine, so they handle the PPU very well. Carcano action is quite strong, severely underrated.
