Which .308 ammo for AR308?


Recommended Posts

Posted
So, I'm about ready to fire up my new AR308 (DPMS) pattern and curious what ammo you guys recommend to dial in the adjustable gas block. I figure a fairly low power load to set the low end?
Barrel is 16" DPMS pattern but Armalite carbine gas length (12 1/16"), Kies adjustable gas block.
Plan is to fire one round in the mag (gas off) till it functions and locks back the BHO. Then open it just slightly more.
Any suggestions?

Personally, I would start with ZQI 7.62 available at Walmart. Price is the same as Tula, but is brass cased and if I recall correctly, 7.62 is slightly lower power than 308.
