6.5 Carcano sense check

[killertom]

Hi,

I'm just about to load up some 6.5 Carcano rounds, using .268 139gr. FMJ bullets.

In terms of powder I have a choice between IMR4350 or AA2015 but I'm having a hard time finding any load data. Could anyone give me some pointers on what charge to go with?
Rifle is an M38 made in 1940.

Thanks!
Tom
