Today - November 22nd marks the 58th anniversary of the assassination of the United States President John F. Kennedy.
The cartridge used in this magnicide was a 6.5x52mm Carcano. The 6.5x52mm Carcano likely would have gradually faded into obscurity much like so many cartridges from the late 1800s and early 1900s, but this is not the case since it was used to assassinate President Kennedy in 1963. This did not lead to an increase in demand for the M91 rifle and 6.5x52 ammo, but it did keep the cartridge from sliding into anonymity.
