Rapier, I have rebarreled a few Swedish 96 Mausers. I know for a fact they are "softer" than I would use for a high pressure cartridge (50.000 psi). Maybe the Swedes use them for 65,000 psi, but that is stupid. And as Ackley said the 96 Swede was the best of the 95 type Mausers. I wouldn't use a 95 type for anything if a 98 is available. I will only rebaarrel a 96 to calibers that have below 50,000 SAMMI ratings... They do know what they are taling about most of the time.
