Forming 6.5 ms form Carcano

[Lebel]

Anyone ever fire form a 6.5 Carcano to 6.5 ms?
There is a .027 difference in shoulder height between the two. Would this be to small a difference to even worry about? I have 6.5 ms dies, would I be able to hydroform the brass some how, anybody?

Why would you bother?Trade-ex has it in stock.One problem I have with PPU Carcano brass is thickness of the rim-it seems to be undersized.
Extractors on both of my Carcanos just eat it away like paper.I wouldn't want to run into possibility of getting case stuck in die.

If you have too much Carcano brass?PM me.

The 6.5 Carcano brass will work OK when formed to 6.5 MS but my approach would be to open up the necks on the 6.5 Carcano brass and then neck back down in a 6.5 MS die to form a new shoulder to headspace on. You will be left with usable brass but short necks. As noted above Tradex has the brass you need and PRVI brass is very good quality to boot.
