308/762.51

Stupid I know

I have a Lar8.

Stamped 7.62

So is it a bad idea to run .308 threw it?

 It's not a pissing contest or bashing party first off. If heard every thing there is to hear about it. And I want the truth from guys who know there stuff not you young kids shooting your mouth off.

I'm about to let my kids run the gun and I can not have any issues with blowing up in there hands or face. .308 is cheaper and more available for me. Thanks again guys.

My question is, why did you post this in the Contests section?

I have a RRA Standard operator and have run both without issue.

I also have used both in my LAR8.

This is from the RRA LAR8 manual available for download here.

When all else fails, look at the owners manual.

Yea I could if I hade the manual. No I don't need to dl it.

 It's a safer and better bet to ask other people.  And yes I understand it's not the best place to ask this question but I got a answer. If the sight was a little Easyer to navigate I would post it the right sections. Didn't mean to piss you off guys.and from what if read around here you guys are crazy crazy crazy mad at rra. So why would you won't my p.o.s?

 Thanks for the info tho.

      I dont think you PO anyone , just look at the sections & sub sections or use the search at the top right hand side of the page  . 

      The whole thing of Nato ( 7.62x51 ) vs 308  ammo is way over blown in modern Firearms , now older rifles & I mean old , their metallurgy is suspect & some 308 ammo now a days is loaded hot compared std 7.62x51 Ball & you should not use 308 in a Nato chambered old rifle .There were a lot of older Rifle converted to 7.62x51 NATO & using commercial 308 may not be up to modern standards .

      I have shot thousands of rounds of 308 in 7.62x51 chambers in modern rifles & the other way around ,with out any issues & we are talking over forty years of it .

    The outside dimensions of the ammo are the same , I have never seen a 7.62x51 NATO reloading die set , they are all 308 die sets , that tells you something right there .
