Please be very conservative, in handloading for that particular Model Husqvarna - as those early Model 96 based actions cannot take the pressure that a Mauser 98 can, and are also lacking all the M-98's safety features.

At the risk of preaching to the choir, that rifle is NOT a "Small Ring Mauser" - and cannot handle the pressures a true Small Ring Mauser can - like the actions later Husqvarna's were made on.

It is a Mauser with a small front receiver ring - and therein lies the rub.

All the earlier Mauser actions, like the 91's, 93's, 94's, 95's, and the 96's like yours - originally identified by their cock-on-closing issue feature - lack the safety features of the later Mauser 98 actions - both Small Ring 98's & Large Ring 98's.
