+1I happen to prefer more velocity and less noise,
Regarding using .308 winchester hunting ammo in an M14, what grains and pressures does one have to stay within to prevent excessive wear and damage to the receiver and gas system? The US NATO round is 158-164 grain right? How do 170-185 grains do in the M14?

An 18.5" .308 is an unpleasant beast that will blow your eardrums out without double hearing protection.
Something I refuse to wear while hunting.
