Tell me about your obscure cartridge

Mine is the 8mm Mauser which I know is pretty popular outside the U.S. but I’ve found ammo limited to ppu soft points and fmjs. I took one of my first deer with it and found it to perform very well for under 200 yards.
 
I have an Italian 6.5 carcano my dad gave me. I have some old ammo for it. My dad said last time he fired it he got some blowback in his face. I’ve never fired it. I’ve thought about cleaning the bore and getting new ammo . . .
Was this the same gun Oswald allegedly shot Kennedy with?
