Agreed. There isn’t huge variety of 6.5CM, but it seems to be a staple that most stores keep in stock - even up here in NY State which doesn’t exactly have a vibrant shooting culture. It’s officially that mainstream of a cartridge, methinks.

well, the prices are still high,
but there is adequate ammo on the shelves.
even CCI .22LR is back in stock.

A lot of the main stream stuff is back in stock.

Specialty stuff like CCI 22 quiet, shot shell and SSS ammo is still hard to find.

I did see some "22 CB Long" ammo, so the other should be here, soon.

I just looked at the CCI website, and they are making the CCI quiet and shot shells, so there is hope.

There's over 80 different 6.5cm ammo options available on Midway

I picked up a box of Winchester Super X .243 Winchester 100 Grain soft point for 18.97.

I have an old Italian 6.5 Carcano bolt action rifle that it is very hard to find ammo locally. Online it runs $1.30 and up per round. I bought this when I was a teenager for hunting deer for $25. I have one box of Norma brand and two five round clips of this.

This was the type of rifle that Oswald used to kill JFK.

Kudos on the correct and proper use of “clip.”

I used to have a 6.5mm Carcano 91/38. It used 6-round enbloc clips.

Carcano clips are always 6 rounds, not 5

There were some German Carcano’s (very few were produced, I believe) in 7.92 that used a five round clip.
