    .308 Ammo Compatibility

    I did a quick search and came up empty handed...

    I have a Savage Model 10 chambered in .308 Win. Can I use 7.62 NATO (7.62x51) in this gun?

    I have googled, but have come across a wide range of answers from "yes, since .308 Win is a higher pressure round than 7.62 NATO", to the complete opposite.

    So, I defer the question to the gurus on here.

    7.62x51 is lower pressure. It has identical external case dimensions. Internally it has less volume because the case is thicker for use in semi auto weapons. So yes, you can shoot it all day long.

          Ok, that's good to know. Next question....

          Is there any benefit to using 7.62x51 over .308 in a bolt gun?

              Only advantage is being able to buy in bulk and somewhat lower prices....When you can find it
              "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776
