history
Winchester built the rifle in this caliber in 1894 from 1895 to the 1940s. From 2005 Winchester again offered the 1894 model in this caliber. Winchester and RWS were the only ammunition manufacturers for many years.
Even if the dimensions of the .25-35 Winchester and the 6.5 × 52 mm R are almost the same, great caution is required when using the .25-35 Win in a 6.5 × 52 mm R. The maximum permissible service gas pressure of the .25-35 Winchester is 3400 bar, well above the gas pressure of 2450 bar permissible for the 6.5 × 52 mm R.
