What is penetration power of 6.5 Carcano bullets? In this video, we test 6.5 Cartridges on 1 inch thick pieces of pine board at close range. We figured the 6.5 Carcano has a lot of penetration power, so in theory, we made sure to be prepared with a lot of wood for multiple tests. We also try and catch at least a single bullet and observe it for deformation.
We tested PPU and Steinel Ammo brands
The 6.5x52mm bullet was the first successful 6.5 caliber in military use. It was adopted in 1890 by Italy and would be used in the series of rifles known as Carcanos (M1891, M91/38, M41, M38 Cavalry Carbine, etc). At the time, smokeless powder was a new innovation, which allowed the 6.5 Carcano to travel about 2,400ft/s. The bullet's slender torpedo shape makes it one of the odder calibers but its design would be ok for World War One standards. It's strengths include penetration depth at longer ranges, flatter trajectory, lighter weight, and less recoil. This round was used by the Italian Military up until the end of World War 2.
