Don't buy the hype about not being able to load brass from a machine gun.
I've loaded 10s of thousands of 308s out of an M-60 with no ill effects. Even shooting them in NM M14s and M1As.

I use to get '60 brass by being a range office on gunnery practice in Huey's hanging out on the skids to catch the brass in a bag.

Propertly size it using a case gage, trim if necessary and you're good to go.
