Keep in mind that Hornady lists a max load of 45.4 grains of RL-22 with their 129 gr bullets...

Also keep in mind that SAAMI has the 6.5x55 maxed out at 45K PSI. In a modern action the 6.5 can handle anything the 308 based cases can.
Bring it up to 60K where it belongs.

The 94s and 96s are identical mechanically and were made in the same factories at the same time. Its the older Norwegian Krags with their single lugged bolts that need to be worried about.The M96 is mush strong an action than the M94
