first off is there a search feature on the forum? second i have tried researching this on the web but there is alot of disinformation out there. question: i am thinking of purchasing a remington 700 in 308 caliber also would like to purchase an AR10 in 308 cal. would it be posible to have a gunsmith mil out the head space of the 308 winchesters in order to use surplus 7.62x51mm? or would this be a waste of time and money? ie the 7.62 will fire and not cause a dangerous situation in a 308cal rifle thanks and this is a great forum |
i thimk search comes with a membership i have seen many people for years shoot 7.62X51 from .308 chambered guns, with no problems, this is not an endorsement from me on this, do so at your own risk, but i have with no problems the 7.62X51 is hotter |
| i posted this same question in AR10 & AR180 forum thanks for the responses any other thoughts and/or comments please post on the other forum>here |

I'm either really forgetful or have been misinformed but I seem to remember a discussion a while back about pressures in NATO rounds vs commercial and the conclusion was that a 5.56 round has higher pressure than a .223. But in .30 cal the .308 has higher pressure than the 7.62. Did I just dream this or does someone else remember seeing it?

i may have had it backwards... |
