The two guns are both Spanish FR8s with excellent headspace results, with bolts matching the actions. Yes, I spent several hours reading up on various possible and rumored issues, including chats with a former Canadian ammo lab technician who also shoots his FR8.
My only question here is about using actual 7.62 NATO brass-Not Spanish 7.62, designed for the weaker FR7 (small ring conversions to 7.62).
I've reloaded comm. .308 about 500 times combined, at the min. recommended load on the Lee charts.
Having reloaded about twenty-forty of these NATO cases, should it be changed to 10% less than the min. on the Lee charts, due to thicker brass?
Most of this belted ammo says 'P S D', 6 7 (or 87?). Some of it has other markings, such as Greek letters, 'T Z', or 'I ^ I' (Israeli?).
