I have never cared how much pressure I was getting so long as pressure signs don't show up. Really flat primer, ejector mark on the rim and sticky bolt all spell high pressure to me. The stickier the bolt the higher the pressure. Really flat primer flow's clear to the edge's of the primer pocket, stop's me dead right there and I back off. Flame cutting around the firing pin hole on the bolt is pressure. Keep in mind, the important thing is not how much pressure your getting but weather or not the pressure is safe in that rifle. If your uneasy with it, stop where you feel comfortable. Might get rid of the chronograph too. It can lead you to think your safe when your not. Mod 96 may or may not handle modern pressure, then again it might. Myself I would not try it, get a modern rifle. My 6.5x55 is a mod 70.
