    The 7.35mm Carcano is, to my knowledge, the only gun every made in this caliber. Occasionally surplus Italian ammo turns up. You need a clip to use it as a repeater, available at gunpartscorp.com or other online dealers. Otherwise, for new ammo, www.ammodepot.com or www.ows-ammunition.com are your best bets. If you handload yourself, cases can be formed from either 6.5 Carcano or 6.5X54 Mannlicher cases. Dies are readily available. Only problem is bullets... you need an odd size .298 to .301 size (slug your bore). www.buffaloarms.com has them as does ammodepot listed above, or if you can find a bullet mould in this diameter, you're in business... as a last resort, I have successfully resized .308 cast bullets to this diameter, but so much resizing quickly leads the sizer die which then needs cleaning.That all aside though, it is a fun gun!
