Never heard of that diameter bullet. What cartridge does it fit?

AKA 6.5mm?

I've shot a bunch of Hornady .264 bullets in 6.5x50 Japanese Arisaka and .264 Win. Mag.
Decent bullets.

Great bullets.
Now, if you have a Carcano or other 6.5mm rifle that's slightly oversize in bore, MoLoc does make a .268 diameter bullet. Several Carcano shooters I know went with them and their accuracy improved dramatically. ;)

The 6.5X54 Mannlicher Schoenauer would be another rifle that benefits from the .268 bullet.

They (the .268's) make a significant difference in the 6.5 Carcano. I used them in this video shooting the Carcano Carbine and 1891 both at 420 yards.
