It's very rare that I ever get a chance to disagree with Jim Keenan, in fact I've never disagreed with him, but
the Kimbers are well made and strong enought for any factory 308 load you can feed it. I've owned one and it was a Mauser action but not a 98 action. How ever there was one country that re chambered the K98 to 7.62 with out any trouble. I know the commercial .308 has a little higher pressure but however??
