To shoot 7.62x51 from a .308 b/a? I have a friend that just asked me this. He has come across some 7.62x51 Federal 175gr and was wanting to know if it would be safe to fire from his .308 . Thanks for your imput. ;\)

Yes he is good to go. Mil-spec 7.62x51 is loaded to lower pressure than commercial .308.

Well - you learn something new every day. Thanks to the OP for posting this question.

I thought the same rules applied for 7.62x51 / 308 and 5.56x45 / 223.

I guess I was wrong. Thanks again.
