Mar 27, 2010 · I've seen ballistic gel tests of the 7.62x51 M80, and judging by them, common .308 seems to be a much better round for live targets. While I'm 100% confident that these are both highly lethal rounds and will probably kill in a single hit, do you guys think they'd stop a target immediatley, or...

Apr 29, 2012 · I find myself temporarily without access to a range right now, so I'd like to ask if any of you have the answer to a question. I recently read the thread with the 5.56 zeroing chart, and the 50/200 yard zero for same. If you were to zero a 16-18 inch barrel 7.62X51, with 147 grain M80 ball at...

Feb 25, 2014 · 7.62x51 nato M80 – Ball M61 – Armor Piercing M62 – Tracer M63 – Dummy M82 – Blank 7.62x39 is basically just ball, tracer, steel core armor piercing, and tracer. I would add the ak-74 in 5.45 as its a more modern cartridge adopted by a lot of countries too

Nov 24, 2022 · Lately I have been reading up on zero's for 5.56 and 7.62. There are lots of articles and video's on AR-15 zero's, and it looks to me like the 36 yard zero will work the best for me regarding what I am setting up for, which is defense. …

Sep 3, 2012 · Steve, I'll let you shoot a box of 7.62x51 w/ a mix of Israeli, Portuguese, and German ammo. Then you shoot a box of 150gr commercial. You tell me if there is a difference in the functioning of the firearm. Believing what a manufacturer/ seller publishes is like believing the Dems, it is always on the high side.

Nov 15, 2013 · I would be happy to send you a box of 3 different 7.62x51 for you to test in your rifle. Shipping costs though. I shoot a lot of MEM and DAG headstamped german 7.62x51. They are good, not great. The ammo in bandoliers I have is 1972 and '73 Indian M80 ammo. It is hot. I have read about issues w/ 1980's or '90's Indian M80 ammo having issues.

Apr 15, 2019 · Remember, too, that the choice of initial bullet weight for the 7.62x51 was a skinny 147gr, later revised to 150gr. This is considered pretty lightweight by .308Win standards, where people shooting competitions regularly do so with looooooooooooooong barrels and bullets up …
