A while back there was a thread on this site somewhere about a comparison between these two rounds. Wish I could find it now......
Anyway, I was browsing through RCBS's list of reloading dies and noticed that they don't list a 7.62x51. Only the .308. Now I have a small base .308 resizer die that I have used forever for my reloading, and have fired these rounds in both military style guns as well as regular commercial hunting rifles. No problems to speak of. The rule of thumb I was told way back then was that if you plan to shoot the rounds in a semi-auto, then you need to reload using a small base sizer die.
Is there any substantial difference in the resized diameter of those cases that could be significant depending on the type of gun those rounds are fired in?
Just curious.....
