		<description><![CDATA[Contrary to common belief the 6,5x55 was not developed by Mauser, but was constructed by a joint Norwegian and Swedish military commission in 1891 and introduced as the standard military cartridge in both countries in 1894.

What Mauser has to do with it is simply that Sweden chose to use the cartidge in a Mauser based rifle,while Norway used the cartidge in the Krag rifles.
This led to 2 different cartidges the 6,5x55 Krag and 6,5x55 Mauser.
The only real difference being safe operating  pressure, as the Krag rifles
has they&#039;re limitations.

If looking into it one would also know that after the Sauer 200 STR, were introduced and set as the standard for all of Scandinavia, the new label is 6,5x55 SKAN.

What is commonly referred to as 6,5x55 Swede in the US, is the 6,5x55 Mauser configuration. 

Also the achieveable velocity with the 140 gr bullets is posted on the low side.
You can safely run it at higher pressures with modern rifles and powders, and the factory ammunition and pressure limits are kept low so it is safe to use in the small ring M96 rifles.

A 140 grain bullet can comfortably and safely be run at 2800-2900 fps, in a modern rifle and a simple look at reloading data from Lapua will give you a nice ballpark figure for velocity.]]></description>
