6.5x257 question - 03/03/22
Disclaimer: I have zero experience with the .257 Roberts... never so much as seen one beyond online photos. I do own a 6.5 Carcano. I also recently aquired a 6.5 Jap, though I do not have any ammo or brass.
My question... I frequently see that 6.5 Japs were converted to 6.5x257. Can anyone tell me about such conversions with the Carcano. Is there THAT much difference between the two? I recently saw a gun that is clearly a Carcano, but is stamped 257 on top. I could be talked into it but I want to know what I'm getting into. How tricky is acquiring or creating brass for 6.5x257 Carcano. I can find nothing online about 6.5x257 Carcano.
Thanks in advance...
