Title: Re: Safety of 6.5 X 55 Swedish ammo in Norwegian Krag?

The above information is spot on, but the fact remains that in Norway, ammunition specifically designed to be used in Norwegian Krag rifles is loaded to a maximum pressure of 40,000 psi.  The stretched bolts and fractured receivers that prompted this policy often were not apparent until many years and rounds had passed.  This topic has also been discussed extensive on Surplusrifleforum.com.  To my knowledge all 6.5X55 ammo commonly sold in the US exceeds this maximum pressure by nearly 25%.
