I may have confused you, here goes again.
is 7.62 NATO and IMPORTED .308 military surplus the same? Probably not but wanted to ask.

I use mostly 180 grain in both of my 308's, my old winchester model 88 gets it's best groupings with 180 silvertips followed very closely by 180 Federal classics (funny this is the cheapest ammo in my neck of the woods) it hates any 150 grain I've tried. Since I use it on moose and deer I've stayed with what works. When I bought my rem 600 mohawk 3 years ago it shoot both of these 180 grains well so I did not do any further testing with it No reason to fix something that works. The most dangerous game I am around is bobcat, pig, wild dogs, etc. There are some black bears and mt lions but I have never seen one in the wild.

have not shot in a while, but I THINK I still have a couple boxes of that green boxed stuff and was Just wanting to know. OH BTW, it shoots it with REAL good accuracy. It's a 700VLS w/heavy 26 inch barrel. Sucker weighs just a tad over 9 pounds naked! now my 600! WooHoo.

I think I told this story before but I thought this was so cool. This September I am hunting up in northern BC for moose, this is grizzly country and I've seen grizzly in this area before and my one brother was bluff charged by a grizzly last year. I am walking down this cut line and it comes to an intersection with another cutline. I look to my left and a lynx is sitting about 20 feet up the trail. He's looking at me and I am looking at him, I throw my binoculars up to see if it is a lynx or a bobcat and I can tell it is a lynx by it's ear tuffs. We stare at each other for over a minute then all of a sundden he spins so he is fully facing me and he looks like he is ready to charge. I throw up my rifle and think one move [censored] and you're dead. I didn't want to shoot him for no reason so I yelled at him "HEY". He just looked at me with the cat version of "the finger" I then made myself look big and slowly backed away up the cut line. When I got about 75 feet up the trail the lynx runs around the corner and stands in the center of the tral. He then proceeds to follow me step for step up the trail for about 200 yards when I crest a hill and lose sight of him. I never did see him again. I know he was just showing me who was boss, but that made my trip

Generally speaking the only time that you would have a problem is if you tried handloading the NATO brass to 308 recipes.

That's kinda what I figured. BUT I haven't messed with loading for a LONG time. Plus my dad sold the reloading gear I used that he had put back.

My father has relatives that live in southern IL and one is a taxidermist. He has a large mt lion that he had to shoot a few decades ago. The lion had several different scars from being shot and was at the cousins house. The lion had a severe infection due to several infected .22lr wounds. That lion is now part of his shop/house.
