History of 6.5×53.5 Rmm Dutch Mannlicher:
The 6.5×53.5 Rmm Dutch Mannlicher cartridge, also known as the .256 Mannlicher cartridge was one of the first smokeless, small, 6.5mm caliber military rifle cartridges designed by Otto Schoenauer (Austrian Arms-Manufacturing Company or ) for 1890 Romanian trials to find a small bore smokeless repeating rifle. Produce was made by many manufactures. The cartridge was use in Mannlicher Model 1891 Bolt-action rifle, which was adopted by Romania in 1892 for the Mannlicher M1893 and the Netherlands in 1895 for the M95 Mannlicher bolt action rifles. During the second world war the ball rounds were also produced in Austria with a steel case version with slightly thinner curved rim with “am” factory code on the headstamp and steel jacketed bullet. Production of steel cased cartridges was also done by FN in Belgium (with “ch” headstamp code). The steel cased cartridges were used in captured M95 rifles, Swartzlose machineguns (M.08) and Lewis machineguns (M.20).
