So I managed to have a Venezuelan contract FN-49 follow me home. I've always been careful of what I shoot in my M1 so as not to bend or break something. I plan to be as cautious in my FN-49.
I'm looking for a commercial load at first that mimics the military load. This will get me a bit of range time and some brass to load.
I have no idea what velocity or bullet weight this rifle was designed to use....There are a myriad of options in this caliber from 126gr to 175gr. With and equally broad spread in price.
The rifle has an adjustable gas system so in theory I could get anything to work. I would rather have the correct load to start off with.
