Some of the 6.5 Italian rifles use the same bullet (not cartridge) that the 6.5 Swedish Mauser uses. The Italian defeat in WWII is blamed on these rifles and their pathetic 6.5 mm bullet and they are often called junk though.<G>
These matters are often in the eye of the beholder. Dennis Jenkins

Japs, Italians, Dutch and Greeks used 6.5 cal rifles. Perfectly good military rounds for hunting people

I have a 6.5 X 55 Krag Jorgenson rifle. Same as the American 30-40 Krag, but made for Euorpean military forces.
The Japanese, Italians, Greeks, Dutch, Romanians, & Poruguese all used 6.5mm rounds as well. They are all completly different designs. (Dutch and Romanian are the same) |

Thanks guys, my buddy and I went to the local gunshow today and picked up a 6.5mm Bolt action. On the way home all I could think of was the Swedish Mauser. I don't know Bolt actions much at all. I'll have to get a better look at it sometime soon and see if I can figure it out for him.
On a side note I picked up a Mosin Nagant M44 1944 Izhvek for myself, my first bolt action.
