[PAR] [TLE] .260 Remington [SEP] The .260 Remington (also known as 6.5-08 A-Square) cartridge was introduced by Remington in 1997.  Many wildcat cartridges based on the .308 Winchester case had existed for years before Remington standardized this round.  Although loaded to higher pressures, the ballistics of this cartridge are basically similar to the 6.5×55mm when bullet weights do not exceed 140 grains.  When loaded with heavier bullets, the 6.5×55mm is capable of greater velocity.  Due to its shorter overall length the .260 Remington can be chambered in a shorter length action than the 6.5×55mm. [PAR] [TLE] 6.5×55mm [SEP] The 6.5×55mm (designated as the 6.5×55 Swedish by the SAAMI and 6,5 × 55 SE by the C.I.P.) is a first-generation smokeless powder rimless bottlenecked rifle cartridge.  Other, less common names are 6.5×55mm Swedish Mauser, 6.5×55mm Mauser and 6.5×55mm Krag.  It was developed in 1891 for use in the new service rifles then under consideration by the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway.  The two nations had independent armies and consequently the normal procedure at the time was for their respective governments to use the same ammunition and then purchase small arms of their choice.  Norway adopted the Krag–Jørgensen rifle, while Sweden adopted a Mauser rifle design.
