JL.
Did you read this?

"I wondered why my 6.5 Carcano short rifle was sending bullets all over an area approximately several feet in diameter at 50 yards, so I checked the bullet diameter.
The Prvi Partizan - manufactured 139 grain FMJ 6.5 Carcano ammo on hand measured a .2635 inch diameter. 6.5 Carcano bullets should be .268 inch in diameter. A second box on hand measured the same bullet diameter. "
*edit: To be clear that website seems to be confirming Bob's point and countering yours John. Most importantly he's using a 6.5 Carcano.
