Here is a very good Spanish FR7 Carbine in 762x51, very nice clean bore with crisp rifling, nice parkerized finish, oiled stock, contrary to popular belief these guns do shoot 308 store ammo as well as 762 x 51 , very accurate for a light handy carbine
Taken from a gunsite on line....confirmed info
All right, let us dispell the myths here. The 7.62x51 NATO and the .308 Winchester were BOTH developed by Winchester in 1952 BEFORE its adaptation by the U.S. military. This gave Winchester the first to market in the .308 Winchester round. Both the .308 and 7.62x51 are the same dimensionally as far as case is concerned. However, we all know that military brass is ALWAYS thicker than commercial brass. It is meaningless none the less as BOTH are held to SAAMI pressures of 62,000 PSI. A lot of people read pressures of C.U.P. and PSI as the same. THEY ARE NOT!!!!
CUP pressures are in the 50,000 CUP range for this round. Go read your reloading manuals correctly!!
Therefore, to the question asked, you can use EITHER the 7.62x51 military round or ANY .308 Winchester round by ANY manufacturer and they will be the same.
