I use pmc bronze ammo and it works well. I do find that you have to work the action with authority to keep it moving smoothly.

You'll see what I mean when you use it. But I've never had any issues that a firm hand couldn't fix.

Bring a flathead with you if you're using the sights. You'll probably need to adjust them.

Also, the barrel gets a bit toasty during target practice. Nothing crazy but I always let it cool before putting it back in its foam case.

A 308 can be a bit jarring if you've never shot a gun before but it's nothing too bad. Just make sure you've got a good shooting stance.

Have fun!
