Yes, you can shoot 6.5 X 55mm Swedish ammo in your Norwegian Krag.
(BTW - Norway did not get its independence from Sweden until 1911. Their militaries used a common cartridge, but, different weapons). Eventually, you will probably want to re-load the 6.5 X 55mm cartridge. Stay with milder loading data. Norway was the last of three countries to adopt the Krag-Jorgensen (1894). Denmark (1889) and the U.S.A. (1892) had adopted Krags earlier. There are numerous differences between the Danish (8mm), U.S. (.30-40 cal.) and Norwegian (6.5mm) Krags. Attached photos: 1. Model 1894 Norwegian Krag. 2. A British Lee-Enfield - Number 4, Mark I (.303 cal.), like your, Canadian Veteran, Uncle probably used. |
