    You need to slug your bore. It might have .268 grooves like the carcano.

    Carcano's were designed to shoot .266 diameter bullets not .268.

    Wrinkled bullets in aluminium moulds are nearly always due to the steel sprue plate being cooler than the mould itself, this cools the alloy as it is poured into the mould.

    I suggest that you wash the hopper out in warm soapy water, dry it off and then run some powder through before throwing charges.
