Question- has anyone actually had a 1891 argentine blow up from using norma commercial ammo?
US 7x57 is held to 46,000 psi due to the the old 93 and 95 mauser actions still being used.
Swedish 6.5 x 55 is held to the same 46,000 psi for the 96 swede action.
The norma 7.65 arg. ammo is apparently loaded to 52,000 psi, as tested by accurate powder co.
This seems to be pushing it for the old 91 mauser action. Some say it should only be used in a 1909 argentine action. Some say it is fine.
Comments please?
