Quote:Quote:6,5x54 Mauser is different ammo than 6,5x54 Mannlicher Schönauer.
Is 6.5x54 the same as the mannlicher cartridge?
The 6.5x54 M-Sch and 6.5x53R Mannlicher cases are built on a special 11.48 mm = .452" base, while the 6.5x54 K Mauser has the standard 11.70 mm = .470" base of the 8x57.
Left to right ( all old factory loads): 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schoenauer, 2x 6.5x54 K Mauser, 6.5x53 R Mannlicher aka .256 Gibbs rimmed.
