6.5X55 Ammunition Safe to Shoot in 1912 Krag?

I have a M/1912 Norwegian Krag in 6.5X55 and am curious if the action will handle modern 6.5X55 ammunition?  If it will not handle modern ammunition where should I go to get reloading information for a safe load?

The krag was designed for a 3500 bar load, however later recommended to max 3300bar. Modern ammo is loaded from ca 2500 bar(6,5g bullet @ 800ms) to 3800 bar (9g bullet @850ms). you should never fire a 3800 bar load in a krag.
