The "rule" is: rimmed in the Steyr-Mannlicher, rimless in the Mannlicher Schoenauer.

I would assume so. But there is a rule never to assume.

What's wrong with these Austrians, using the same nomenclature for two different cartridges, rimless 6.5x54 MS or rimmed 6.5x53R, as .256 Mannlicher. Not very German.:)

But then the .256 Mannlicher is British.

Gives me lots of time to work on getting more rifles working for it. As long as my PhD in Procrastination doesn't need a new thesis.
