Is Hornady still manufacturing the .268/.2665 dia 6.5 Carcano bullets? I can't find any for sale on line. Have a few hundred & trying to estimate a price in case I part with them.
Good luck!! And I mean that! Hornady, I really like their stuff, but yet another company that claims to be working 24-7-365 to meet the demands of the shooting public. There must be thousands of militant customers waiting outside their shipping department demanding on site sales, cuz other than dribs and drabs there just isn't much out there. 6.5 Carcano has got to be a pretty low priority.
Fake shortages are just that.

Doesn't the 6.5 Jap use a .264 bullet? I'd recommend slugging your bore before using a .2665 diameter bullet. I'm sure the Jap action is plenty strong but better safe than sorry.
