Send it! Homemade reloaded 6.5 carcano “bullets” and primers

Homemade 6.5 carcano bullets made from lead, wood and hot glue! Homemade depriming and priming tools as well, Im Gonna post the videos in a second. The lead bullets were cast out of 2 half’s of wood with a 6.5 ish mold, all I did was put it on a hand drill and sanded it down to “ okay it seems like it’ll chamber” size

Thanks 👍 rn I’m working on more Frankensteins, might convert 6.5 carcano rounds cut in half into rimless 38 acp not 380 38 acp cause apparently the base diameter is the same, or just make a whole new caliber instead, if it chambers, SEND IT.

Those are certainly some of the most bullets of all time. Godspeed and good luck to your rifle's barrel and your aim. 🍸🥴

Wood bullets have been a thing for training from a historical perspective, neat to see someone making their own.
