Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 6.5x52mm Carcano ammunition hard to find? It was chambered almost exclusively in Italian military Carcano rifles and has never been a mainstream commercial caliber, so few manufacturers load it.

Is this ammunition safe in an original surplus Carcano rifle? PPU loads to standard specifications for the caliber, but any surplus military rifle should be inspected by a gunsmith before firing if its history and condition are unknown.
