nsaqam,
Whatever--though I also fail to see any real disadvantage of a 6.5x55 on a standard 98 action. Or, especially, a medium-length action such as a Mexican Mauser or "short" Montana 1999.
Some shooters would even argue that there's an advantage to the 6.5x55 over the .260 in a .30-06 length action, since like the 6.5 Creedmoor in a 2.8" magazine, any bullet can be seated out to touch the lands.
You still haven't answered why anybody would choose the 6.5-06 in a .30-06-length action when the .264 provides even more velocity.
Or is this thread turning into a 6.5-06 love fest?
