I have an old Swedish M41b sniper rifle.It’s in 6.5x55 and it’s very effective at long ange.The Swedes made the right caliber decision back in 1894.

Seems like the countries that actually employed 6.5mm rounds in combat—the Italians and Japanese—both sought to change to a 7+ mm round (7.35mm and 7.7mm respectively) soon after their hostilities began. Can anybody explain this?
