Default loads

What loads are you using specifically? The Swedish steel actions are strong but lack the safety features of the 98 action that replaced it Worldwide.If they let go somebody usually gets hurt or worse. The 96 mauser was designed for 45000-47000 PSI You should have a 29.1" barrel on your 96 If you post the load you are using I have 96 data from the Hornady book that should be safer.Before someone pipes up about the modern sporters Kimber made ....they quit that practice after several incidents/blowups. Beautiful rifles and scary accurate...if the 300 yard zero bothers you install a taller front sight.......Harold
