A: Hi John! According to IMI, you should not fire this ammo's bullets through your SFAR's factory muzzle brake. The Boomer muzzle brake has two ports. Either of those ports could shave a thin sliver off the bullet's jacket and deflect it toward your face at high velocity. (Ouch.) I cannot judge the risk of this actually happening, but I must defer to IMI on the matter.

A: Thanks for reaching out Jhon! That's a really good question. The 308 Win and 7.62x51 are not identical to each other, even though they appear identical on the outside. The 308 Win is loaded to generate slightly higher chamber pressure: 62,000 psi, as opposed to the 7.62x51's 60,191 psi. That is such a small difference in chamber pressure that even SAAMI, which defines ammunition, does not consider it unsafe to fire 308 in a 7.62x51 firearm. This is good news for you, because it means your 308 rifle is designed to handle slightly more powerful ammunition than the 7.62x51 you have already purchased. Your rifle should correctly cycle and not be damaged by 7.62x51.

A: Yessir! IMI probably hasn't loaded corrosive primers since the '50s.

A: No sir, this ammo is loaded with FMJ bullets: solid lead cores, solid gilding metal jackets. I'm afraid we haven't got any frangible 308 in stock at the moment.

A: Thanks for reaching out J! I regret that I haven't received those data from IMI yet, and we haven't tested this ammo out ourselves yet. I think it's reasonable to guess this ammo has a MV of 2,751 fps and ME of 2,428 given its 150 grain bullet, although I can't confirm that's close to the actual data.

A: Thanks for reaching out James! This particular ammo comes in 50 round boxes, and at present we're only offering it by the case. We have got some other good options in 20-round boxes in stock though – I hope you'll take a look! luckygunner.com/rifle/308-ammo

A: Yes sir! IMI loads new production brass cases and Boxer primers. A handloader can put this ammo to good use.
