Gil & gumpokc,
As I pointed out in a former post on this thread, I load a "low end" charge of H414 and 150 grain jacketed bullets in my Indian rifles that are 7.62NATO/.308 Winchester. My Lyman cast bullets are fueled by mild charges of Unique.
Now as for "Vast differences" in the 7.62NATO and .308 Winchester, I just checked commercial boxes of Federal, Winchester and Remington factory loads and none said, "DO NOT FIRE IN A 7.62X51MM NATO gun." If there was a problem betwixt the two designations, I think a warning label would be prominent. I suppose SAAMI has covered the .308 field of commercial ammo like they have for the 8x57mm Mauser.
Finally, I shot a lot of commercial .308 Winchester factory ammo in my M-14s and never had a problem. I also loaded ammo for my 7.62x51mm M-14s on RCBS .308 Winchester dies. Ok, I will say no more on this matter because I have not seen a "problem" that has made it to the national consciousness, other than the "gunzone" article and that is ok.
Adam
