Neil, yes Sir. Factory new 308 or 7.62x51 ammunition will work just fine. Just buy a few boxes of various brands for your intended purpose to find which is most accurate in your gun before stocking up. Cheers and stay safe!

This will work fine with most commercial 308. As with any firearm you might find a brand or two it just doesn't like for some odd reason but other than that will run fine with hotter 308. This will also accept 7.62×51nato Wich is the military version of 308. Hope this helps.
