You can throw 7.62 and .308 into a rifle chambered for .308, you shouldn't really throw .308 into a rifle chambered for 7.62, just saved you a million youtube videos, you're welcome.

Thanks! 🙏

Rifles for international and military use are commonly manufactured on the high side of the headspace tolerances to allow for variation in ammunition due to multiple possible suppliers.

Also, it's not recommended to shoot modern commercial ammunition through old firearms due to higher chamber pressures due to modern faster burning powder. It's not due to case dimensions.

Now they know what to come get😅

This is a quote from the NRA Shooting Illustrated. Hope it's okay for me to copy and paste it here as I am giving credit to the source. "The actual pressure differences between aren’t all that large-a 62,000 psi limit for the .308 Win. and 60,200 psi for the 7.62 NATO-but it’s enough to be concerned with; a tight chamber, or an overly dirty chamber could pose a pressure issue. No one wants to damage a firearm, and we certainly don’t ever want to see anyone hurt; so keep the golden rule in mind: a .308 Win. chamber can handle both .308 Win. and 7.62 NATO ammo safely, but if your rifle is marked for 7.62 NATO ammo, it’s best to use only that."

Revolvers chambered in 357 magnum will safely fire 38 special rounds. However revolvers chambered in 38 special WILL NOT fire 357 magnum rounds. The cylinder shouldn’t even close and lock up since the 357 mag is just a bit longer than the 38 special.

Both are amazing, and both absolutely smack! My favorite cartridge of all time 👌

I shoot both calibers in many 308 and 7.62x51 rifles . Have been for 40 years. Originally I shot 7.62x51 in civilian rifles because it was alot less expensive. Those days are gone. I purchase spent 7.62x51 brass from the military brass contract buyers to have ample quantities to reload

.308 should never be fired in a small ring Mauser, like the 1916 Spanish. I reload and shoot lower powered cast bullet .308 reloads out of my small ring Mausers. It's not an issue with large ring Mausers.

I bought a 1916 Spanish Mauser before I spent any time on the internet. I bought a few boxes of surplus ammo but almost exclusively used factory 308 ammo for 10 years before even hearing anything about pressure differences. Federal ammo was the only factory ammo that has shown any signs of high pressure (flattening primers). But the gun has never failed. I have a different rifles for hunting now and need to rebarrel my mauser and am going to do so in .308. I plan on going with a 16 or 18 inch barrel and mainly for subsonic ammo but I know that it will handle occasional full power loadings for hunting.

.308 jams in my ar-10. when I changed rounds to 7.65x51 no more issues

I’ve still had rifles that fire one better than the other, but this could be simple differences with the manufacturers

There is simply no way that Winchester would have commercialized the military round in a way that was not interchangeable. And, if they had, you’d have heard about the lawsuits long ago.

If this was a problem why is there a shocking lack of exploding 7.62/.308 rifles?

My HK doesn't seem to notice a difference, maybe it's the fluted chamber.

Not sure I only have 762.39mm.

I have an old Winchester model 100 in .308 that I got from my dad, can I shoot 7.62x51 rounds from it? It's pretty old since it was made in the 60's This rifle has sentimental value for me so I don't want to damage or ruin it

@KentuckyLasslo

Жыл бұрын

Yes, you can. The American .308 Winchester cal. is loaded to a higher pressure than the NATO round, so you’ll have no problem as the 7.62 is not as powerful and the same caliber as the .308 Win.
