Bob,
You’re right about the 6.5x54 being Austrian, of course, and I’ve written exactly that enough to know better. Apparently like a lot of people I tend to lump Germany and Austria into the same general term.
Dunno about the renaming except that British (and Scotsmen) just about universally refer to the 6.5x54 as the .256 in all the published stuff I’ve read, including Maydon’s big book.
