I have 3 of the 96's, a 94 that was bought for my Mother in the 60's and a couple of Norwegian Krags. They all shoot the 160 gr. RNSP Hornday so well that I haven't tried anything else. I did luck into 400 rounds of the Yugoslavian 139 gr. soft-point but haven't gotten around to trying it yet. Also have a couple of NOS barrels in case one ever gets worn out. LOL Great caliber that gets overlooked in the hype about the latest greatest 6.5 WC (Wonder Cartridge.)
