Kraig-Jorgensen load .308

[gerardjohnson]

I have a Craig-Jorgensen rifle re-barreled in .308 Win. I am reluctant to use full power loads. How strong are these rifles and what loads would you recommend?

I would load to .30-40 Krag pressures. I think that these rifles were designed to handle about 45,000 PSI. I would not consider shooting .308 factory ammo in that rifle. Maybe post your question in the gunsmith section for a more definitive answer.
