Found this in a buddy's Dad's ammo rack. What caliber is it and what is the name of the cartridge? Any history there? What is it primarily used for and why is it so long?
Thanks
Tom

6.5x52 Carcano That is really strange. I'll have to ask his dad how those got in the pile. I bet he won't know.
Any idea why the long bullet tip? Wouldn't that make the bullets susceptible to damage during transport or in battle?
