I have 12 different Carcano rifles and shoot most of them from
time to time. I shoot all cast bullets in my military rifles, and
they shoot very very well. The problem why Italian rifles get
a bad rap for not being accurate, is there bore diameter is .268
instead of .265 diameter that US 6.5 bullets are. I size my cast
bullets to .269 or .270 and they are very accurate. Another
myth is they have a very weak action. The Italians used some
of the best steel of the time. Don't forget, they were making
guns years ahead of most country's. They still make some of the
best firearms in the world.
