Plan to make this a hunting longer range bigger game rifle.
Not unless you plan on getting that chamber gauged for .308. Unlike virtually every other AR-10, Sig chambers 7.62 NATO instead of .308. That's an issue in two ways, .308 chambers and 7.62 NATO chambers spec'd differently with headspace at the shoulder and commercial hunting ammo is considerably hotter than mil-spec stuff which should be considered when running a piston type AR10 variant.

That's odd. The manual says .308 WIN is good to go.

I'm pretty sure I have read that many have used .308 rounds...
Yea I just saw someone say it says on page 21 of the manual it says .308 is ok to shoot. I didn't look yet but will before I shoot it. I have read of some having issues with feeding and ejecting...some say needing a brake in some needing to go back to sig. I hope this one just works :)

Dont understand that. Hot 308 loads could be dangerous in that chamber.
