Sterling - .308 Win - 147 Grain - FMJ

Hey Kevin!
Thank you for your question. The Sterling .308 Win 147 Grain FMJ with brass cases is manufactured to high standards and should cycle effectively through a PTR/HK action, although PTR typically recommends steel case ammo. Brass cases generally offer smoother feeding and extraction compared to steel, which can be beneficial for maintaining your firearm’s condition over time.
However, every firearm can have unique characteristics, especially when it comes to ammo preferences. It might be a good idea to try a small quantity initially to see how well it cycles in your specific PTR/HK setup. If you encounter any issues or need further recommendations, don't hesitate to contact us directly at (888) 736-6587 or email sales@trueshotammo.com. We're here to support you in finding the best ammo for your needs!
