Does anyone have any personal experience of the problem of
using 7.62 NATO in a .308?
I bought some ex military "MEN" 7.62 ammo (German I believe) to use for
target/plinking in a Brazilian Mauser rebarreled to .308. After the first
couple of rounds and having to hammer the bolt open with my fist I decided
they were probably too hot for my rifle. If I recall correctly the dealer
from whom I bought them told me that his son had had similar problems whilst
using them to shoot seagulls at a local rubbish tip. Seems they were loaded
for machine gun.
Regards,
David.

I think that's more of an overloading problem than a dimensional
problem, MEN ammo is usually pretty good, the Germany Army uses
it.
7.62 on seagulls? Yikes.
