AR10 and reloading

[adamsoa]

I've got a friend---- with a .308 AR10. I've got the bug for long range shooting/hunting and I'm dragging him along. I've been reading about 208 gn AMAX bullets and RL17 being a great combo for 308's.

I can't find any info about this working or not in an AR platform.

Is this going to work from his gun or do we need to look for something else.

Thanks

Andy

that's going to be a little too big to get any velocity out of it. you will be much more limited with the mag length than out of a bolt gun. I would stick with something in the 168/175g class.

to be honest, out of my 308 AR, I shoot 155g bullets. I would look at those, its not till out around 700-800 yds that my 185s start to take over shot from my bolt gun.

My buddy shoots the 168gr out to 1000yds
