Sog's 6.5 Carcano Came

[neilwest]

1. I purchased twohundred rounds because the price was good. It came today

2. It is 6.5 carcano made in Yugoslavia. Noncorrosive 139g softpoints.

3. I'll give a report this weekend when I go to play with my M38 and M41;)

Cool, thanks for the update. Mine should arrive tomorrow.

Don't expect great accuracy from this ammo. I have fired about 140 rounds of it, and those 140 grain, undersized bullets are all over the place.

But it's OK for just shooting bottles/cans and such.

I'm still holding out for the Hornady, which is scheduled to be at suppliers next month.

HerrdoktorSchuetzengruvin,

Please tell me more about this Hornady ammo. Is it going to be a ready made cartridge or is it just components? Any idea on price range?

Zouave,

Hornady is making both unprimed brass and loaded ammo. This will be offered thru Graf & Sons (http://www.grafs.com)

They do give discounts to C&R holders. (I'm pretty positive) I have dealer pricing, but I don't remember if it's because of my C&R or my resale permit.

Here is an update table off their website....

Yes it will be ready made. From what I understand, fair retail pricing should be in the $18/box range.

Balistically and accuracy wise, these rounds should be very similar to the Western ammunition like Oswald used.

Thanks! :)
