6.5 Carcano feeding problems

[herbert buckland]

I have just got my 6.5 Carcano rifle to shoot like a dream,useing the CBE .268-150gr bullet,GC and sized trough a.269 sizer,diped lubed with high velocity lube,BR2 primers and 23gr of ADI 2206H powder.Now its shooting so well I want to use it military rifle compitition,but the last 2 rounds in the clips stand up to much to feed without pushing down on the nose of the cartridge,this seems to be the case in every Carcano I have tryed(tryed diffrent clips,this did not fix the problem)as these were military rifles I can not see this being the norm,does any one know how to fix this problem

Cips bent out at the front from re-use? These clips were intended to be a one time use
thing, so they will bend over time. Make sure they are snug at the front.

BillI just tryed this(bent the clip front lips in slitly and it fixed the problem)I feel a bit stipid for not of having thought of this my self(did not realise the clips were so soft)Thank you

No problems. I've been fiddling with them off and on since 1966.
