What 110 grain factory ammo were you shooting for your comparison?
I've had better accuracy with PMC or old Korean surplus than I have with the more expensive stuff.
M1 carbines can be puzzling...

I've had excellent luck with the Lee .312, 160 grain TL bullet 2X coated with Harbor Freight red. I can usually keep 10 rounds inside four inches at 100 yards through a 59/66 SKS.
Back when I was...

Give it 10 or 15 years and you'll "see" (or NOT see) the problem with irons.

.45 ACP isn't be my first choice for hogs, but I have killed a couple smallish ones with my P220.
I like the Lyman 452424. I know it was designed for the .45 Colt, but they shoot pretty good in...

They're still good to go, at least they were a year or so ago when I managed to pick up a couple bulk packs of 'em.

I understand that you don't want another knee replacement, but why?

My 35 year old Marlin Model 60 was far more accurate than my 10-22 until I'd spent about seven times as much on a barrel and trigger work for the 10-22 as the Marlin cost brand new (there WAS 30...

10 degrees!
Wind chill of 10 below!
My DEEP FREEZE. doesn't get that cold!
I really feel like a wimp now.
I didn't hunt Monday morning because it was 22 degrees.

See your Dr and get a prescription for allopurinol, take it as prescribed and drink plenty of water. Don't expect it to provide relief if you're actually having an acute attack though.
For that...

I don't shoot much of the bulk pack stuff anymore except through pistols. I have noticed that almost ALL bulk .22 ammo bought since @2008 has higher misfire rates and worse accuracy than the older...

Are there any problems or advantages associated with the Carcano's "gain twist" rifling when shooting cast?
Are any special tips or tricks needed?

Why not use CerroSafe to fill the entire bore?
Making precise, removable casts is pretty much what it's designed to do.
It shrinks when it first cools to allow easy removal and then re-expands...

Inserting an oversize brass brush from the rear and then jerking it out quickly usually works for me.
If that doesn't work, the Cerrosafe will. I'd avoid using lead though, Cerrosafe melts at @185...

If backboring doesn't solve your accuracy problems, try running an electric cleaner in it.
