The 6.5×54mm Mannlicher Schönauer is also known as 6.5×54 Mannlicher Schönauer Greek is a 6.5 mm (.264" cal.) rifle cartridge used in the Mannlicher Schönauer rifle.
6.5 mm bullets are typically known for their high ballistic coefficients and sectional density, which gives them excellent stability in flight, resistance to wind deflection, and high penetrating power.
The 6.5×54mm's reputation stems from its use of a 160-grain (10 g) bullet, giving the projectile very high sectional density and therefore penetrating ability.
It requires a fast rate-of-twist rifling (about 1 in 9") to stabilize such a long bullet.
The 6.5×52mm Carcano was designed as an infantry cartridge. By the tactics of the time, the adjustable rear sight of the rifle allowed for volley fire up to 2,000 meters.
The original 6.5×52mm barrel design, developed by the Brescia Arsenal at the same time as the cartridge before the development of the M91 Carcano rifle itself, used a gain twist barrel with deep rifling to reduce wear and give consistent accuracy.
