7.62x51mm in a 308.
I saw today that Cabelas by me had Fed. Prem. 7.62x51mm in 175grn Sierra's MK's and they were marked "Gold Medal Match" underneath. I know they are not the same, 7.62x51mm and 308, but was just curious has anyone shot them for accuracy?
I know the 7.62x51mm was/is made for the auto's and not vice versa. Whatcha think? Can't seem to be able to find the GMM around here. |
Wow you learn something everyday i always thought they were the same cartridge, just a different name kinda like the .223 and 5.56x45mm. This is one of the reasons I love coming to this site I am always learning stuff.

try them, they are safe in a 308.
RR I was just nosey if anyone tried them in a bolt gun for S&G's to see if they were as accurrate? Am I making sense? I think I am digging a stupid hole for myself. :action-smiley-099: |

they'll do fine, probably real close to the same load used in the field by the us snipers using a bolt gun. most probably loaded with ball powder, may be a bit temp sensative but accuracy should be fine.
