[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1536618, member: 30902"] The 6.5x55 was dual issue/sold to the public from it's inception throughout Scandinavia concurrently. The .303 British traveled throughout "the colonies" with colonial officers who also hunted with them as soon as they were issued. They became extremely popular wherever the Brits, Belgians, and other militaries using them traveled. Same with the 7.92 Mauser. In Europe the officers were part of the aristocracy and got all their privileges afforded thereto even when on assignment in the colonies. The Mauser came really into prominence during the Boer wars when the Boers equipped with them shot the pants off of the much larger and better supported British units and it really took off fast from there.
