Ok,
I did a quick search here and on the web and I could not find a definitive answer to my question. I have read that it is not wise to shoot commercial .308 Winchester in a 7.62 rifle. But it is ok to shoot milsurp 7.62 rounds in a modern .308 Winchester rifle. Is that correct?
Here’s what I have .
Winchester Model 70 Coyote (Pre-FN)
Similar to this but in .308 and gray laminate. http://www.winchesterguns.com/prodinfo/catalog/historic_detail.asp?cat_id=535&type_id=956&cat=001C
So, would I be ok shooting 7.62 out of this rifle? Not a steady diet, but just in case.
