Hello y'all,
I've poked around a bit and looked here and there but I have not seen any info on this topic: I just want to find out what factory ammo is shooting well down the pipe of the Ruger SR-762. For those that don't know, it has a 16.2" barrel and a 1:10rh twist. Mine is chambered in 308 Win/7.62 NATO (they all might be chambered like that, I don't know if there are/were any other calibers available).
I'd like to find a good factory load and bullet weigh and stick with it- make it my "brand". When I begin to load my own, well that will be a big difference and I wont be as concerend about factory loads. But for now I am.
When I first got this rifle I wanted it to be my long range rifle. I did some add-ons to that end- one being a big, high-powered optic. But now, years later, I think I will consider this a mid range rifle at, say, 0-500 yard effective range (my effective range). I'll put the scope on something else and get something like a 1-10 LVPO for my SR-762...
So anyways, what ammo is working well for you SR-762 folks?
