Another quibble. This is a safety issue, so READ it. One of our members wrote:
It was introduced in 7.62 mm NATO, very, very close to .308 Winchester. (Some say there are headspace differences, though I have used 7.62 mm NATO in my Remington 700 VSSF, ostensibly chambered for .308 Winchester, and I have used .308 Winchester in my Federal Arms FA-91/G3, ostensibly chambered for 7.62 mm NATO.
Here's a 7.62 NATO gun that blew up with .308 Win ammo not long ago: http://communities.prodigy.net/sportsrec/gz-762d.html These two cartridges are NOT the same, more here: http://www.fulton-armory.com/308.htm Reese
