Commercial M96 actions.

[Trunnion]

Hello,

I have a Husqvarna commercial M96 in 8mm. Is it wise to shoot full house commercial (Hornady international) loads in this rifle? Or do I have to trek over to wlamart and buy some American loaded stuff?

Thanks!

Your local Walmart has 8mm Mauser?? Where abouts?

The local one here in Mount pearl Newfoundland usually has the Federal stuff (I think) in the blue box. Problem is its loaded like 30-30. I have dies and brass and some 200gr speer hot cors, maybe I will load up some to 303 levels (2450fps)

It was tested with European ammo, it will be fine. I have two of them, good rifles. - dan

Actions are plenty strong and the Swede steel is quite good, that's not really the concern...they just don't handle ruptured cases as well as other actions, so if you load, neck size or partial FL size so you don't work the brass too much.
