A: Thanks for reaching out Monroe! Your LaRue is actually chambered for 7.62x51, but in any event it's not able to fire 300 AAC Blackout. Now, the 7.62x51 cartridge shares almost identical dimensions with the 308 Win. It's just loaded to a slightly lower chamber pressure. Although they're technically two different cartridges, the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute does not consider it unsafe to fire 308 in a 7.62x51 rifle. (Although a semi-auto 7.62x51 rifle may have difficulties cycling 308 ammo that it's not specifically designed for.) What I'm getting at is this: your LaRue wants the ammo on our 308 page:

If you're just looking to pick up a few boxes, I'd recommend the IMI ammo. That's Israel's military ammo manufacturer, and they make good quality stuff.
