    The Carcano was issued to the Italian forces in 6.5 and 7.35. If you find brass for one it can be reformed into the other with little effort. Bullets are trickery, good luck.

    Rimless 405 Winchester project.

    Thought project so far. Carcano action, Green Mountain 40 cal barrel, form cases from Carcano brass or 303 British.

    Thoughts or opinions?

    Doesn't seem like a good marketing move. .360 sounds odd to American hunters. A shortened .375 Winchester or a lengthened .40 S&W to meet the size requirements. Both sound powerful and could use...

    Not a good idea to use a 22LR barrel for a 22WMR build. Different bore diameters and likely different steels. You can get liners rated for 22WMR.

    Borosilicate glass. It is what Pyrex uses in their better stuff, as well as their old stuff. Lab supply house or eBay might have the right size.

    Is it possible to make a usable rifled bore this way? I am thinking that the bore would taper because the original barrel would be tapered.
