6.5x55 does it quite well (modern action)
most / all 7mms do it quite

One designed to handle modern pressures of around 60,000psi.

SAAMI set a maximum average pressure of 46,000cup due to the number of older weaker actions around, hence factory ammo is weak and in a modern action hand loading can improve its performance substantially.
