I shoot the M855 in my FS2000, and wanted to know if there is ammo out there that is the same in .308?  |

There is a small list of the NATO stds and designations in the link.
Also, you can check the sticky notes in the forum. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62x51mm_NATO |

Are you asking, "are they any 7.62x51 rounds made that have a mild steel front core, like the 5.56x45 M-855 round?" http://www.ar15.com/content/manuals/TM43-0001-27.pdf Chapter 11 |

The only 'penetrating' 7.62x51 rounds are the old, no longer made, M61 AP, and the new M993, which has Tungsten, not Steel, so you will not see these on the surplus market. |
