The Firing Line Friends,
I have recently gotten a Ruger M77 Hawkeye Predator in .308 and have a question regarding the safety of firing 7.62x51 out of it. The military round is from Federal Premium (XM80220) and I have to wonder if it is worth the risk shooting it anymore through the Ruger, knowing I might cause permanent damage. I know that the Gunsite Scout is chambered for both the .308 and 7.62x51, so this has me believing I could also be overreacting and that Ruger rifles are strong enough to handle the 7.62x51. I have around 90 rounds through the rifle.
Thanks for the information and your opinions, and have an excellent fall season!
Sincerely,
