I can't remember what the book said concerning loads for the m96, but I went with a middle of the road load of 38.5 gr. of IMR 4350 and a 129gr. Hornady pill and it shot great. No signs of overpressure and excellent accuracy. I look forward to working on some more loads and now that I have a taller front sight, maybe I can cut the x-ring out of a few targets... wink
