These were included in a PIF that I received from Tombrewster421, and I'd like to pass them along. Thank you again, Tom! :bow:

See the photo below; included are a used set of Lee dies for 6.5 Carcano, plus a new "Case Length Gauge and Shellholder" set, also for 6.5 Carcano.

Note that the dies have a little surface rust on them. I didn't try to use them (as I already have dies), but I'm sure they work just fine. Also note that the seater die won't work for the larger 0.268" bullets that some folks load for the Carcano, but they will work just fine for the more typical 0.264" bullets. (The hole inside is too small to allow the larger bullets to pass through, but it's larger on my newer Lee die set . . . FYI.)

If you are interested, just say "in" or similar. Please specify whether you'd like one or both of these items.

I'm happy to either meet the winner in the Renton area, or mail these on my dime.

I'll close the PIF when it feels right to do so. :bigsmile:

I could use them. I have a 6.5 carano.
I very seldom shoot it. The clips are hard to find.
Some day I might buy the 7.35 if I can find one in good shape.

A year or so ago a guy on one of these forums had a 6.5 carano come apart with factory ammo so it kind of makes me nervous shooting it. I
I don't know what caused it to unravel, over charged, an obstruction, bad metallurgy.
Just a bad situation for sure. That's the round that supposedly took Kennedy out so it has a little history behind it.
How do you like the safety on that gun?
