I got mine about 1967. It was designed to shoot the .308 Win., so it should be safe to whatever the .308 chamber pressures are, which I think ar3 crowding 65K. I started handloading for mine almost immediately, was not timid with the loading......and it had no apparent pressure problems. As for accuracy,I had a couple of loads that would give sub- moa, 5 shot groups. The trigger pull leaves a lot to be desired, and mine had bad forend warpage, which gave me seasonal issues.....summer to winter! I loved the little rifle, and recently gave it to my son! memtb

You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel
