Loading Oddball Rifle Cartridges
A Sauer drilling came with 6.5x57R dies and ammunition, so it was relatively easy to work up handloads using 6.5x55 data. Rimmed versions of European cartridges designed for use in break-action guns use the same dies as the rimless versions but a different shellholder.

In those days, firearms manufacturers were fond of designating caliber by a barrel’s land diameter instead of its groove diameter. Nominal groove diameter for a .36 “Navy” was .375 inch.
