7.62 X 51 Nato or .308 Win. Are they the same ?

I have someone come over and comment on my Cetme part 1 video that you can not shoot .308 Win. out of that rifle. I am trying to tell him in a nice way that he has no idea what he is talking about. You decide, I am wrong here ?

Good job telling that b**** off I also hate it when people use all caps.

hello I am from Denmark I am 17 years old and just got my hunting license so just bought a brno rifel and ammotion box says 308 winchester 7.62 X51. I am not an expert but I think you are right. sorry if there are some spelling fails :).

@Xcrp12 See that, you are 17 and have more sense than the moron that got me mad enough to make that video. lol. Thanks brother. They are the same size round, I would however only use the 150 grain .308 in military firearms unless the manufacturer says differently. You spelling is fine and thanks again. : )

@GordonTurnerpark Century does put out some not so good firearms but they also put out some very good firearms. I wish their QC was more consistent but I agree with you and thanks. : )

@ChromeFreak123 If I might also add, I too become angry when someone responses to me in all caps. It is just rude. I only use all caps when trying to illustrate a compare and contrast situation or I am ticked off. People need to learn to be more polite.

@ChromeFreak123 I would agree with you concerning the lack of a dangerous situation in the CETME of a case-head separation due to the lack of a floating firing pin. I am hypersensitive to a possible problem due to the fact that I reload for a rifle with a floating firing pin that could be prone to a slam fire on an out of battery ignition with part of the case left stuck in the chamber after extraction. Back to your TROLL, I am really sick of the monkey remarks regarding Century.

@GordonTurnerpark I explain about internal dimensions in the video but disagree about brass seperation. I have never had a problem with either in any case. I will also say SAMI and Lyman both call it the same round with no problems with being interchangeable. I have had brass come apart or split in many rounds but never in this case althougfh I will not say it won't happen, it is not a dangerous thing. thanks for your input. : )

[ChromeFreak123]

@423deathy Exactly, Thanks. : )

@angryfishmonger lol, Thank You. :  )

@eldergow2 Yes. It is going the other way-.308 in a 7.62 CHAMBER rifle that presents a problem. Your rifle is chambered in .308. You are fine. I am not telling you to do something I haven't done a thousand times myself. LOTS of confusion regarding this. Go to Google type in Clint Mckee 7.62 vs .308. He will back up what I just said. Mckee is the owner of Fulton Armory.

@ChromeFreak123 The BRASS is different (smaller internal dimensions, heavier brass), but that is only a problem when reloading. The problem with .308 Win and 7.62 NATO is the chamber in the rifle. The 7.62 x 51 chamber is longer than the .308 Win chamber. This presents a problem when .308 is fired in 7.62 chambered rifles due to the lighter brass. It weakens the brass and could cause a case head separation. 7.62 fired in .308 chamber is fine.
