This is a topic of great debate. Depending on who you talk to you will get different answers. Technically the 308 Win and the 7.62 x 51 are different calibers and as such shouldn't be interchanged. Some people have done it and are still here to tell the tale many rounds later. Others, not so much. The NATO rounds do run at a higher pressure and as such shouldn't be run in 308 Win chambers. Since you are using an F/TR I would think that you would be much happier shooting a match load with a 168 or 175 HPBT. Handloading will let you get the most out of that gun. It would be a shame for it to get damaged by inappropriate rounds. But this is just my standing on it. Maybe someone else has some evidence to prove me wrong........or maybe this is the begging of a thread with much debate? ::)
