The case size and bullet diameter is close to 308 Win, if you are loading cast bullets, I'd just use Lyman's 308 cast data...start low and work up, of course.
If you are loading jacketed, just beware that 308 Win max pressure rating is 11Kpsi higher than 7.35 Carcano's Max PSI of 51K.
That's my 2¢

Nope.
I do have a local friend who has a stock duplicator...He's not cheap...BUT I haven't seen or heard from him in a couple years. My phone calls to him have gone unanswered and I have just plain not seen him around (He lives...or lived? 5 miles from me). He hasn't been to our local gunshow for the last two years, our tables are always next to each other. He talked about moving to Northern MN, I suspect that is the case.

I have spent the entire morning looking at web sites that have info on the
Carcano and not one of them has any load data.
None of the reloading manuals has any data using any kind of available powders
either.
I know the Carcano is the bastard child in the rifle world but it is a neat little rifle
with a lot of potential and having no data for it to me is shame.
OK rant over!!
Everyone have a great NEW YEARS.

If you have H4895 you could apply the Hogdons formula to this data from “Cartridges of the World”. If nothing else this data gives you some safe working parameters, i.e. stay below these charge weights.
P.s. I’d probably just toss 15 grains of 2400 in some cases and see what happens.
