Checked the numbers?
308, officially, has a 2000psi higher max pressure than 7.62 NATO. That amounts to about 103% max pressure. Factory civilian ammo is not loaded to max pressure so it's essentially a guarantee that 308 is actually operating at lower pressure than surplus 7.62. Most quality civilian arms are proof tested at ~130% max pressure; I have no idea what military arms are proofed at. External dimensions of the two cartridges are identical.
So unless your rifle is going to explode at only 103% max pressure I fail to see a problem (and that is assuming you are firing max pressure, hand loaded 308 rounds and not lower pressure factory 308 rounds).
Not buying this one bud. Sorry!
We at kelly's sporting goods just got some in.
SAAMI, the body that regulates all small arms ammunition in the US (and as an extension most of Canada), says that .308 Winchester and 7.62x51mm NATO are interchangeable. They are the ones that, literally, wrote the book on cartridge dimensions and maximum pressures. If their word isn't good enough for you then maybe you should see a witch doctor next time you're sick instead of a regulated, licensed medical doctor.Not buying this one bud. Sorry!
show me one documented example of a rifle that was originally built to take 7.62 that blew up because of .308
