New with embarrising ?

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.

Howdy and welcome Stan!

Most manufacturers say they will void the warranty if you shoot reloaded ammo.  Just reload well and pay attention.

Hi Stan  I just went and looked at your sig....cause i didnt know what it is....so its a new type ar rifle that shoots 7.62....not an old surplus type rifle :)

Let me put you at ease.....you can safely shoot 308 ammo in your rifle with no and I repeat no worries!  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  :) Wash

Been safely shooting 308 out of a 7.62 chamber for over 2 years now in an AR. You're GTG.

Welcome from CO! Looks like ammo may be hard to get for awhile. So I started reloading.

Thanks guys! It makes me feel better about my purchase.
