6.5 Carcano Brass......Glad your Back TFL!

I'm looking for a Caliber that I can convert to make 6.5 Carcano brass for my friend. I can get new Norma brass for $1 each, but there must be somebody who has or knows how to do this.
I do enjoy a challenge.

You can use .220 Swift cases. You pretty much need a lathe to do any quantity. Basically you turn off the rim and deepen the extractor groove. You can form and trim the cases before or after the lathe work. Not complicated, just tedious!!
