Might as well run several rounds of everything, take notes.
I've found I have to adjust my gas block depending on what ammo I'm using, but I'm shooting weights as light as 110gr up to 175 gr. ETA- both of my 16" BA SS barrels shoot the 110 V-Max very well. |

My BA barrel shot Federal Power shok 150gr very well. Winchester, meh. Remington meh.
I have a couple other brands I need to try yet. |

Range trip went well. Only shot 70rds but it functioned 100% with everything I tried. 147gr WWB, Hornady 150gr SP and Federal 150gr SP. I'll try some others next time out. I'm sure it could benefit from adjustable gas but for now I'm not sure I need it. Recoil wasn't too bad and ejection looked pretty good. Using an H3 buffer with A5 tube and Sprinco red.

My Aero shoots Hornady 150 Soft Point Boat Tail the best.

I would avoid the Tula for the time being.
Steel cases do not retract as readily as a brass case, IE they tend to stick to the chamber walls for a little bit longer, after fired. The tapered rounds like steel cased 7.62x39 aren't really effected by this, but a straighter walled cartridge is. |

Rifle barrels generally take 100-200 rounds before they break in and settle, velocity and accuracy wise. I would just blast away with your cheapest stuff until you get an optic (you’ll probably want at least some magnification with a .308). Once you’ve hit 200 rounds and have your optic go ahead and shoot for groups and see what it likes.

I would not use steel cased ammo. It is destructive to your chamber.
I run M80. I have run Prvi, Nammo, and Federal. It runs fine with or without a can. |

My Aero 16" likes the sig sauer 150 and 175 grain ammo. Winchester white box is a no go but good for breaking in.
