This is the sporting version of 7.62x51 mm NATO. It was introduced by Winchester in 1952 - just one year after the new NATO cartridge. The purpose of the new military design was to create a more compact cartridge with a faster rate of fire than the .30-06. It also has excellent accuracy potential and is favored by many target shooters. Since the .308 Winchester fits into short action rifles and delivers nearly the same energy as the .30-06 with medium-weight bullets, it has become one of the most popular cartridges in the world. However, the case capacity is not suitable for bullets that are much heavier than 180 grains. Accordingly, some hunters find it too light for the largest species like the big bear. The .308 Winchester is not identical in all dimensions to the 7.62 NATO due to different tolerances....
