[QUOTE="C-130 Dude, post: 2868379, member: 122991"] The op caught himself and recanted case type. Yes, the 7.62x54 case is too long, it wont chamber because its rimmed. Also, I believe you have the 7.62 and .308 use compatibility issue backwards. The 7.62 is typically loaded to lower pressure than the .308. 7.62 ammo is made for service rifles requiring them to be used in a variety of guns. Mostly machine guns. And the various service rifles, m1, m1a, and m14 and a few others. It's actually somewhat hard to find real commercially available 7.62 ammo these days. Almost all of it I've seen is for .308 usage with its higher pressure. I use it for my m14. Take a look at a few loading manuals and confirm pressure cautions. [/QUOTE]
