As for me Ive relegated my Rock Island Springfield #92xxx that has a SA 08/44 barrel on it to cast bullet use only. And as so is my best cast bullet shooting rifle. My current favorite load is a Lyman #311291 over 27 grs of IMR 4198 which chronos @1885fps. And generates much less pressure than jacketed bullet loads. But dont get me wrong I agree with you that If it was if it lasted thru 2 wars it should be safe now. This is only my choice. I wont own a gun that has to stay on the wall. This gun and load averages 3 1/2 " 15 shot groups @100 yds using issue sights.
