6.5mm rounds are nothing really new, Italy used it during WWII if I remember correctly.

Some of the Norse countries have used a 6.5mm round for a long time too...

PVT A Roberts - I had a rifle from WWII that came from Italy, wish I had kept it.

The 6.5 mm is a much better round than the 5.56. At least for killing things.
