stanfmd Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I purchased a Sig716 ;its chambered in 7.62 nato, I didnt realize the pressure difference or the hard to get ammo. Wondering wheather to keep it or not. I dont shoot in matches, just a hobbist. I like the ar format and wanted to reach beyond 250 yards. I'm not apposed to reloads, but they void the warranty. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Howdy and welcome Stan!Most manufacturers say they will void the warranty if you shoot reloaded ammo. Just reload well and pay attention.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pressure graph and stats are basically for older type rifles....like really old.....I shoot 308 out of 762 and visa- versa.....there will be no pressure probs ! I dont know where you are looking but 762 is plentiful.....go here for one....shoot the 308 dont believe all that internet mumbo jumbo :) Washhttp://www.sgammo.com/product/federal/20-rds-762x51-federal-gold-medal-match-175gr-bthp-sierra-matchking-ammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt.Cross Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Been safely shooting 308 out of a 7.62 chamber for over 2 years now in an AR. You're GTG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMAN Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Welcome from CO! Looks like ammo may be hard to get for awhile. So I started reloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
