Default Re: 308 vs 7.62 Nato

If you fire a .308 buy either .308 commercial ammo (i.e. remington, hornady, federal, winchester, etc...) or look for the crosshairs stamped on the headstamp of '7.62X51 NATO' dont buy NATO ammo if you cannot first verifly that it is indeed NATO spec, and ALL NATO spec ammo bears crimped primers and the crosshair stamped in the headstamp... FYI, some of that foreign mfg. ammo was intended for machine gun use, or so I read. That explains why its much hotter than it should be...
