Let the discussion continue, and more personal use comments.

6.5X53R 'Dutch' Mannlicher Video
Once they get to where you can hear the narrative over the wind, he's got some information there. By 5:10, he's getting ready to shoot and discusses magazine and feeding issues. He is wrong about dies being unavailable, Hornady makes them on order. At 10:55 he addresses use of spitzers and resultant loss of accuracy as they jump a gap to engage the rifling. He (and another video host) mentioned that overall cartridge length must not be less than 3" or they will not feed. I don't know why, I've never owned or handled one.
