When the Germans invaded Norway, there were a few 6.5 X 55 rounds shot at the Nazi's before the Home Forces were over whelmed. Both Norway and Swede adopted the same round before the Kingdoms separated. The pre WW2 American Rifleman had an article about the marksmanship of the Norwegians and their Krags against the Germans. It made for great stories, as I recall, Norwegian riflemen killing Germans at 1200 yards. The Germans learned not to to be silhouetted at those distances, as the Norwegians could plink them. Unfortunately, the Germans cheated, instead of fair fights, heroic mano e mano combat, or dueling small arms, the Germans used their Stuka's, Panzers, and artillery and took over the country.
Bastards!
