I had a pair, one 6.5 and an 8mm.

Both were the stubby carbines. I fired the 6.5 with surplus ammo, was very docile. IIRC they have a progressive rifling twist. I didn't have the guts to fire the 8mm. They were reworked in WWII to fire the German ammo, I decided to pass.
I had an older Hornady book that had data for loads.
