Are we to assume that the CIP are disinfo agents too? If you go here you can see their specifications for the 6.5x54mm Mannlicher cartridge, specifications which tally exactly with what the poster I quoted said. Also, here is their set of allowable tolerances which allow for a maximum groove diameter of slightly over that!
Now why on earth would people who know an awful lot more about firearms than you or I give those figures if the result would be a chronically inaccurate rifle? Why would manufacturers from their relevant constituent states allow them to?
The bottom line on this is that a 6.5mm rifle which has a .268" groove diameter is absolutely not going to be chronically inaccurate due to that fact alone. The presence of a .268" groove diameter in the events at hand is most categorically not evidence proving that the rifle alleged to have ben used could not have made the shot. It most certainly could although that in no way proves that it did, only that it is not impossible.
