Looking for 308

[Crazydoc68]

Just bought a savage 308. Looking for decently priced ammo. No more than 85 cents a round is reasonable.

Do you need 308 and/or 7.62x51?

Can a 308 shoot 7.62x51? I heard that it couldn't.

Hello Crazydoc!!! What kind of rifle do ya have?

 

[Crazydoc68]

It's a Savage Axis

 

[captcrunch]

Duh!! Sorry bout that, been a long day. Yes you can shoot it. The NATO round is lower pressure than the standard 308.

 

[Crazydoc68]

Awesome. Thanks!

Before we go much further, we want to address the oft-posed question “are the .308 Winchester and 7.62×51 NATO one and the same.” The simple answer is no. There are differences in chamber specs and maximum pressures. The SAMMI/CIP maximum pressure for the .308 Win cartridge is 62,000 psi, while the 7.62×51 max is 50,000 psi. Also, the headspace is slightly different. The .308 Win “Go Gauge” is 1.630″ vs. 1.635″ for the 7.62×51. The .308′s “No-Go” dimension is 1.634″ vs. 1.6405″ for a 7.62×51 “No Go” gauge. That said, it is normally fine to shoot quality 7.62×51 NATO ammo in a gun chambered for the .308 Winchester (though not all NATO ammo is identical). Clint McKee of Fulton Armory notes: “[N]obody makes 7.62mm (NATO) ammo that isn’t to the .308 ‘headspace’ dimension spec. So 7.62mm ammo fits nicely into .308 chambers, as a rule.” You CAN encounter problems going the other way, however. A commercial .308 Win round can exceed the max rated pressure for the 7.62×51. So, you should avoid putting full-power .308 Win rounds into military surplus rifles that have been designed for 50,000 psi max.

I know it doesnt help much, but I am seeing the 150gr SP "Deer Thugs" at Wal-Mart again. Its an ok round if you just wanna kill paper, IMHO.
If you are looking to stretch the rifles legs, roll your own.... ;-)
