Just before the turn of the 19th century, the 6.5x57mm Mauser was introduced to be fired from rifles built with the M88 action. Despite this, no military ever adopted the cartridge, yet European and American civilian hunters have used the 6.5x57mm with great effect on medium-sized game.

Many shooters compare the performance of this cartridge to that of the 6.5mm Swedish. As a result, the 6.5x57 is one of the most prevalent for hunting deer in Germany � where hunting laws, locally the Bundesjagdgesetz, state that deer-hunting cartridges must deliver a minimum of 1,356 foot pounds of energy at 100 yards, and the minimum bullet diameter for certain deer is 6.5mm with the same energy requirements.

Gun rights organizations are reportedly �pouring millions of dollars in outside spending� as the Jan. 5 special runoff election for two U.S. Senate seats in Georgia are up for grabs, according to CNBC.

The election is critical to determine which party will control the U.S. Senate. If Republicans can retain a thin majority, they can serve as a barrier to Joe Biden�s gun control plan. If Democrats capture those seats, it results in a 50-50 split that will always be decided in the Democrats�� favor by Kamala Harris, who will serve as president of the Senate.
