Yes it most certainly would, but that 375 action could probably buy a 6.5-55 rifle if you could find one. They didn't make many.
ETA: Ooops, sorry I didn't realize that you are in Australia. You could probably still trade that 375 action for a 30-06 or 308, whichever length action you would prefer to build a custom on. I think a 98 mauser would be the perfect length for a 6.5 -55, but I always end up making the M98 a clone of a m70 win anyhow and just build win 70's now and be done with it!
