Will a 308 Shoot a 7.62 Round?

Generally, yes, you can shoot 7.62x51mm NATO ammo through a rifle chambered in .308 Winchester. However, there are several types of 7.62 ammo, such as 7.62x39, which is the ammo used in AK 47 rifles. In this case, the ammo is much too small for a 308 rifle and will not fire properly. Additionally, you should not fire 308 ammo through a rifle designed specifically for 7.62x51mm ammo, as .308 Winchester is loaded to a higher pressure.

What Is a 308 Good For?

There are plenty of excellent uses for 308 ammo, including hunting, long-range shooting, and even personal defense. Depending on how you plan to use your rifle will determine the best type of 308 ammo for the job. For example, if you're looking for a competition round that will fly as straight as possible at longer distances, you'll want a medium-heavy bullet that is loaded to a high pressure to maintain velocity at range. On the other hand, for personal defense, opt for a hollow point bullet that fragments easily to help prevent overpenetration.

How Far Can a 308 Shoot Accurately?

Generally, you can hit targets at 1,000 yards with a rifle chambered in 308. However, this depends on a lot of factors, such as your skill, optic, firearm, and ammo. When it comes to .308 ammo, you need rounds that are specifically designed for maximum distance. This type of .308 Winchester Ammo is often loaded with extra powder at a higher pressure, which gives the bullet more velocity. Additionally, the bullet is heavier than standard target loads but isn't the heaviest bullet, as this can negatively impact your velocity.
