        <![CDATA[ I&#39;m in the process of buying an Ishy 2A rifle. I know this has been discussed before, but I can&#39;t find the thread. What is the difference, if any,
between the 7.62 military (NATO) cartridge and the commercial .308 round? I handload, so can I use commercial (Rem, Win) .308 brass? Is there anything special
I should know about bullet choice? Finally, can I use the load data for the .308 found in reloading manuals in the 2A? TIA for any info. ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have posted on this before and others disagree. Their right. However the differences are this;
<br>
<br>
Military brass is slightly harder than commercial brass. A &quot;must&quot; as military ammo is subject to rough handling.
<br>
<br>
Military brass is slightly thicker, not because of the charge, but again to help resist deformation as a result of rough handling. This difference will result
in different chamber pressures as a result of a SLIGHTLY reduced case capacity.

			<description><![CDATA[ I know this is an old post, and this thing has been kicked around to death. But, I have been doing some more reading.
<br>
Found out I was overlooking a major factor.
<br>
It was there all the time and I just didn&#39;t pay it much attention.
<br>
The difference in the cases and the load have been discussed at length. I paid a lot of attention to that.
<br>
What I did not pay attention to was the fact of the difference not only in chamber dia. size, but also in length.

That said, the &quot;2A1&quot; was and is a &quot;new&amp;different&quot; receiver on it&#39;s own. If my chamber was tighter I would not hesitate to fire
factory 308 in it. I did not have any backed out primers or case separation, Just such swelling that the cases could not be re sized. I get good accuracy on

			<description><![CDATA[ I could&#39;nt find anything on blow ups either Sked, I have fired several hundred rounds of German mil .308 ( i think east german?) with no ill effects.
Acurracy was pretty good. (all of this in an Ishy 2a) I need to dig out my re-loads and see what I loaded with to make sure i&#39;m safe. I have been aware of
the difference in commercial/military brass for many years now and load accordingly. But I still want to check now! ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ dutchmills, I have not found any info on &quot;blow-ups&quot;.
<br>
I can say this.
<br>
The regular Remington  factory loads of 308 I fired in my Gibbs. The fired cases would not go into the sizing die.
<br>
On the other hand, the Remington Managed recoil cases were neck sized several, 6 to 7 times with starting loads with no signs of anything except growing too
long. Full length sized and have fired some of those 3 to 4 times and not through with this batch of cases yet.

			<description><![CDATA[ Skeyed, caution is not a bad thing. In this case there is no danger. The Savage is the parent of the .308 and has nearly as much case capacity. The reason for
the lower charges is that the Savage has a lower working pressure than either the .308 or the 7.62, something like 44K CUP versus 50K. Extruded powders can
stand reduced charges pretty well. Hodgdon says up to 25% with 4895. Ball powders are a different story.

			<description><![CDATA[ Tenring36,
<br>
The main difference between the two that anyone is really sure of , which we should be concerned with, is the thickness of the case wall, compared
<br>
 to which chamber, with what load it is used.
<br>
<br>
Yes, the chamber difference.
<br>
But  remember, the case thickness and the different result is less capacity for the nato case.
<br>
Also, I am against any substitute from another cal.
<br>
The loading manual,s warn strongly against it.

Notice, in the 2nd Edition of... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I think the biggest difference is that the commercial chamber is at the tight end of the tolerance spectrum and the military is more generous, to allow for
less than sparkling cleanliness under combat conditions. Any brass should do, as others have said. .300 Savage load data would have very safe pressures while
not giving up much in performance.

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the help, guys. My most accurate load for my Ruger .308 rifle is a 168 gr HPBT match bullet over 41.5 gr of 4064. I have quite a few 150 gr bullets
in .308 so I think I&#39;ll try those with powder charges in the low to mid range as suggested. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have loaded oodles of rounds using 308 remchester brass.like was said, don&#39;t go over mid range loads.
<br>
I have loaded seven times with &quot;starting&quot; loads before having to full length re size.
<br>
I did fire 5 rounds of factory 308, a complete down right no-no, with my 2A1 gibbs.
<br>
So I never did or never will use 308 commercial loads in my un molested 2A1.

The gibbs is still ok but I had to scrap the cases after the first firing.

I&#39;m sure they will easily handle larger charges.

don&#39;t know of any commercial ammo that is made at the top end of pressure ratings. stay on the low to middle range on hand loads and shoot for lots of
years.  jwr ]]></description>
