Why did they switch from 6.5 to 7.35??
Just wondering if anybody has any information as to why did the Italians decided to switch from 6.5 to the 7.35 ???? Just from a common sense standpoint I don't get it????... The sectional density, penetration and efficiency of the 6.5 cal 163gr Military Load would seem to have beed all around a superior chambering... The 7.35 does not conain any greater powder capacity and with a .300 123grain bullet I can't imagine it was more effective.. maybe out to 100 yards it performed well if penetration was not an issue.. Just wanted to see what kind of thoughts people had on this topic... Thanks!
