Was reading this:
http://www.303british.com/id36.html
Now I am confused and worried about my upcoming rifle choices (semi-auto and bolt).
I am not sure if the guy on that page is just trying to sell a book (no problem with that so long as the info is accurate) or what.
If .308 commercial has weaker brass than military, then what is going on with us firing store-bought .308 in battle rifles? (FAL, HK, M1A, AR in 7.62x51)
I realize many people buy milsurp to shoot, but I might not be doing that much especially if I am going to use the same .308 between my bolt gun (target/hunting) and the MBR. But I also don't want to have to worry that my guns will not fire milsurp.
What is the story here?
At least with .223 and 5.56 I know that a gun able to fire 5.56 can fire .223.
The above page makes it confusing.
