I have read the military 7.62 is often loaded lighter (opposite of .223/5.56).
The case varies a little also.
I plan to try it in a Browning '81.
Thanks.

that's the way I see itSo, it's the opposite of the .223/5.56????
seems to depend how old your rifle isThey are completely interchangeable, and for all intents and purposes, are identical.
Looks like we will probably get a argument started, but I shoot either & or in all my rifles chambered in said round be it .223 & or 5.56 NATO, same with the .308 & or 7.62 NATO & I don`t have a problem out of none of it....................Both 223/5.56 and 7.62/308 are interchangeable in most rifles. Yea, military rifles and ammo are made to very slightly differnt specs. Winchester, Remington, Ruger and all commercial rifles and commercial ammo are also often made to different tolerences that are often greater than the differencs between military rifles and ammo.
About the worst case is a some rifle and ammo combinations may not cycle reliably in semi autos. You find the same issue's with non-military semi-autos and non-military ammo.
