Apparently a good deal; it's been chambered in everything from 30-40 to 8mm Mauser, and the milsurp 8x56R my rifle is chambered for is among the hottest service ammo ever made.

It seems like I read some time ago that the M95 was originally designed to shoot the low pressure 8x50R ammo and was converted to the hotter 8x56R ammo. I also read that the rifles that Greece and Yugoslavia received as war reparations that were converted to 7.92x57 are unsafe to shoot. Wiki lists the max pressure of the 8x56r as 51,500 psi. That is close to 7.62x54R but it isn't up to 8mm Mauser standards. On the bright side, it should be plenty enough for the 45-70.
