Isn't 6.5 Carcano brass very nearly the same.
I've read of some Greek 6.5 rifles being given a generic chamber that allowed use of either cartridge. There being more captured Italian ammo than remaining stocks of the Greek cartridge.

I always got mine at Grafs.
Speaking of which, I'm in the process of working up a load for a Wyoming antelope hunt later this year. I'd love to use dad's old Mannlicher 1903 for it...

Grafs for PPU or Norma. Don't know if RWS still has a distributor here in the U.S.

I found that you can make it out of 220 swift cases. Run them into a 6.5 die and trim to length.
