This is my first post and I am AMAZED at the amount of information available on this website. I am knew to reloading so I expect to learn a lot here.
I hope this is the correct forum for this post.
To the point...
I have recently purchased an M1A with a headspace of 1.632 as info'd from the data supplied on the weapon by Springfield Armory. I haven't fired it yet.
I am looking to purchase another rifle like a DPMS 308 or 7.62 nato. My hope is to be able to use my reloads from either rifle in either rifle. I understand there is a concern with head space issues and the chamber differences between 308 and 7.62 nato weapons.
Question 1. Is this goal feasible?
Question 2. If feasible, the next question is which rifle would be recommended for the second rifle. The 308 win or the 7.62 nato chamber?
Any and all info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
