Bret4207:
I have had a number of FFLs. I have written for, The American Rifleman, Guns & Ammo, Rifle, Guns, The Shooting Industry, Gun World, Gun Digest and others. A 93 or 95 in .308 is not safe to shoot even with factory loads. The action just was not designed for that type of presure. I am not the only gun writer who has said so. If I remember right even Mauser said it was not safe back in the 60s or 50s. The bolt will most likely "setback" causing excessive headspace and causing a problem opening the bold after fireing before the action or the bolt fails but you can not count on it. Every time a 308 is fired in a 93 or 95 the action or bolt is one round closer to failure because of work hardening. I say again, taking the chance is not worth your life or your eye sight. The 7X57 mm is a fine cartridge and is safe in those actions. Now, this is still a somewhat free country, you are free to disreguard my advice if you would like. Gary P. Hansen
