does anyone have a link, or could scan a page for the load data for .303 Sav. and 6.5 carcano?
after years of searching for the dies i lucked out and got both sets for $40!
then found neither of my books has these loads listed[:(]

The gun was designed for a bullet of about .267". .264" bullets may work well for you, they may not. Hornady makes the proper diameter bullet available from www.grafs.com but your dies may or may not handle it without binding- again, you just have to see.
Most load manuals contain data for the 6.5, but some of this should NOT be used with the larger diameter hornady bullet. Hornady will happily provide data (which incidentally can also be used for the regular .264" bullets). I'd offer to simply give you the data (and will if you can wait awhile) but I'm at work and the load data is on my home computer- can get to it tonight or tomorrow.

didnt find the carcano listed, but just about any others i use seem to be accounted for...thanks!
Incidentally, I find that most of these loads are a bit conservative; I've tried the 4064 and 760 loads up to max without issue, but a lot depends on your bore diameter and they want to cover their behinds in case of a particularly tight bore.
these cals are getting hard to find AND to find data on
