I have the same rifle ,love shooting it with cast , jacketed bullets not so much. and for peep sights surprisingly accurate.

do you use SAAMI or Nato miltary oa case length specs - i use the .308 specs so i can use the same CB loads in commercial rifles - just wondering if Nato specs would improve already great accuracy -

I like to shoot cast bullets with my FR8 when plinking and target shooting. But for hunting, I prefer jacketed bullets, I have taken hogs and deer with it.
