Morning , i have just got a hold of a decent spanish FR8 chambered in 7.62x51 and would like to get a little guidance on loading for this rifle .
The bore slugs at a snug .308.5 and land /grooves are sharp and crisp, am i right to say these are a 1-12 twist and the "parent" is a Mod 43 large ring mauser?.
I would appreciate any info from folks who shoot these rifles ( bering in mind i have a glass shoulder ), i.e boolit choice ,,,, powder,,,, ect,ect,.
i do load and shoot the 8x57's but never had the pleasure of shooting a 7.62x51 Nato .
have a great day,,
Adrian.
