Total "Euro-snob" choice - 6.5x63 Messner Magnum.

What? Do you have something against cartrigdes designed in Norway? CRYBABY

Seriously, both are good cartrigdes but the 6,5x55 is the standard cartrigde for competition rifleshooting in all of Scandinavian and this means very high quality cases and bullets combined with relative low prices vs. the 6,5x57 - if your are going to shoot it a lot.
