As much as I know that 7.62x51 and .308win are basically the same thing , I can't make myself buy any 7.62x51 till I know for sure that I can shoot it out of a .308win barrel. It's kinda the whole "you can shoot .223 out of a 5.56 barrel but don't shoot 5.56 out of a .223 barrel" . So is my .308win marked barrel gtg for using 7.62x51? From what I have read I should be able to , just want a little more input before I order some.

Yes. It is actually the oppiste of .223 ver 5.56 . Most 7.62x51 nato rounds are loaded lighter than .308 win. So .308win barrel with 7.62x51 nato good to go.
