A: Albaro, Yes this rifle can chamber and fire the 7.62 Nato round. What is best is what works best for you and your rifle. Good quality ammo is best, but you can fire inexpensive steel cased ammo also. BUDs has over 300 different .308 rounds to choose from.-------https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php/type/Ammunition/sort/per-round-asc/caliber/10000660 Purchase a couple different brands and see what works for you.

A: Albaro, yes Sir. The .308 and 7.62x51 Nato are close enough in external dimension to be interchangeable. The .308 is just loaded to a higher pressure. The most potentially accurate .308 loads Buds has in stock are : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/32063/fed+gold+medal+308+winchester+185gr+berger+otm+gm+lr --------------------------- https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/14375/winchester+match+308+winchester+168gr+sierra+matchking+bthp+20%2fbox

A: Yes, it definitely can. Which ammo is best will be the ammo your rifle shoots best with. What my rifle likes best might not be best for your rifle even though they're the same rifle. I recommend shooting groups at 100 yards with at least 10 different types of ammo brands. The more the better, as you will see what your rifles likes best. I do prefer boat-tail ammo. It was my pleasure to assist you.

A: The more expensive the bullets the better they should be....right?

A: Albaro, yes, 168gr through 180gr is optimal in .308. A heavier bullet is longer and has a higher ballistic coefficient and will shed velocity slower than a lighter bullet for targets beyond 600 yards. A heavier bullet will also be more stable in cross winds compared to lighter bullets as well.

A: I left a lengthy response to only be sent for review for whatever reason. In short, 168 grains is what I use but you have to figure out what your rifle likes best.

A: Nathaniel, yes Sir. This rifle has a 20" Heavy Barrel with #6 Profile with a 1:10 Twist - Threaded muzzle with Midwest Industries 3-chamber muzzle brake.
