Rapier,
The 8x57MM Mauser is also under loaded by American ammo companies. That aside, I think you need to understand the Pre-M1898 actions are NOT up to the pressures you stated. If you think the M1896 action is as strong as the M1898, then I suggest you should know better.
A 6.5x55MM or 7x57MM in a Ruger 77 action is stronger than any M1896 action you care to put your face behind on firing. Well, maybe you will take a M1896 to the bench with those HOT loads. If so, "May the Lord be with you" despite SAAMI data.
