The lack of available commercial bullets that actually fit 6.5 Carcano has necessitated my decision to start casting. Right now I’m in the planning phase, and I need advice on the following.
1. A good resource that explains in depth the casting process. Can be bound book or online. Free resource or for purchase.
2. A recommended mold for a 150ish grain 6.5 that drops at about .270” with a round or blunt nose.
3. Recommended starting equipment that won’t break the bank. Money is tight right now, and everything costs three times too much.
4. Advice on any pitfalls to avoid, or things I should watch out for.
Advice on any or all of these are appreciated.
