Reloading for the FAL

[Mikee Loxxer]

I have DSA SA58 I want to reload for. It has a .308 Win barrel. I would really like to load up some 168 grain Hornady A-Max bullets and achieve a muzzle velocity of about 2700 fps. Do any of you guys have any suggestions or things to be careful when it comes to loading for an autoloader such as the FAL?

Load 'em up to milspec velocities, and you shouldn't have a problem. Adjust your FAL gas system if they don't cycle well.

FYI, Speer No. 13 manual has a bunch of .308 loads "starred" for use in .308 autoloaders.
