ORIGINAL: Nomercy


There are a great deal of "7.62mm" rounds out there...but it's kinda like the 7mm's, there's 7mmRem Mag, 7mmWSM, 7mm SAUM, 7mm-08, 7-30 Waters, 7mm STW, and so on and so on, all have kinda the same first name, but they're VERY different rounds.

By the way, 7.62 does not designate 7mm anything. Just to further confuse things from what nomercy said, your above mentioned rounds use a .308-.311 dia. bullet. Your 7mm's are .284 in dia.
