Cmon dude, that's ridiculous. The brass is shaped a little bit different. Everything else is the same.

Also , very similar to the 260 Remington.

I think the only real difference there is the twist rate on the .260 limits you to lightweight bullets if I remember correctly. The 6.5's are twisted fast and will shoot 160gr bullets fine.

Additionally, the 6.5x55 is throated long and can handle heavy bullets seated way out there. Also not restricted to short action COAL. If not for the krag limiting the factory ammo horsepower in the US, the swede would be the better choice on paper than anything else.

And it's one of the oldest centerfire cartridges ever
