I have had one since about1964 and loaded it with everything from 130 gr to 180 gr bullets , per loads listed in 2-3 different reloading manuals with no problems.
Accuracy wise,after I drifted the front screw lug on the barrel to the center of the stock barrel channel and did some bedding it will do better than an inch at 100 yards. The trigger is the bad part. Some have noted a few guys that do rigger work on them but I don't think it does a lot of good.
Reliability wise, I have never had problem with the firearm itself, but the ears on the magazines can get bent a bit and cause jamming.They can be fixed though.Extra magazines are hard to find and get pricey if you do.
Pre 64 had cut checkering 64 and past that have rolled/pressed oak leaf checkering.
If you buy it, PM me, I have an instruction article on bedding and accurizing
