Re: A Magnificent Single Shot Falling Block by WR

The 6.5x53R (AKA 256 Mannlicher) was quite widely used in SS Falling Block rifles although it is rare to find examples remaining today, as most have been re-bored to something a little bigger as the 256 Mannlicher case was one of the first smokeless powder rounds, and used corrosive primers so the original bore was cactus, the usual story.
