Thanks for the nice words!

AFRO498, I am not sure, but i think the reason is that when you open the neck, there is simply not enough brass left to 55mm lenght.

John, that is one nice US Krag! Looks to be in good condition to! I just love the Krag action!

Daryl, I`m not sure if I understand you corect, but the volum in the 6,5x55 and the 7x57 is not similar. When it comes to the 8x54 and the 8x57 there is absolutely possible to add the same amount of powder as normally is used in the 8x57, but the Krag action is weak, so it should not be used too hard. See pic for details of used 6,5x55, 8x54 and 8x57. I`m not that into technical details regarding cartridges, could you please elaborate what you say about the wierd shape of the 6,5x55? I did not know it had a wierd shape?
