[QUOTE="Cimarron, post: 2718143, member: 15877"] For what it is worth you seem to be concerned with factory loaded ammunition. This is not a hard and fast rule but if you stay with 145g to 175g bullet weight ammunition you will probably be ok. The 168 and 175 are usually sold as match ammo. 145g-155g ammunition at around 2750 fps should ( I said should be ok). 168g ammo at around 2600-2650 fps should be ok as should 175g ammo at 2550-2600 fps. I shoot and reload a lot of M80 ammunition. It is true that some .308 Win. factory ammunition SHOULD NOT be used in the M1A/M14 platform. The heavier hunting loads should be avoided. Good luck.
