POSSIBLY the most expensive production ammo is the .308 Glaser Safety slug, currently priced at $29/ 6 rounds- or nearly $5 each. There are unusual COLLECTOR'S rounds that are no longer in production, and are not offered for general sale to the public- such as the Starlight Tracer, the Duplex (2 bullets in one casing) and the SLAP (Saboted Light Armor Piercing) Individual collector's cartridges will sell at whatever the market will bear- $10-$20 per cartridge is not uncommon for scarce specimens.
a "308" measures .308 inches while most 30 caliber ammo measures .312 inches. Strange as it may seem both are classifies as 30 caliber ammo.
no You could use the 308 ammo in an Enfield.
Any .308 Winchester ammunition.
The .308 has a larger DIAMETER bullet, being 7.62 mm (versus 7mm) However, SOME 7mm cartridges may be longer than the .308, such as the 7mm Magnum.
Absolutely not.
12 Guage is the least expensive ammo. It is the most commonly used. For most common loads 20 guage can easily be found at the same prices.
There is no long action 308, it's a 30-06.
lighter bullet and more ammo can be carried as opposed to the 30/06 or 308
No, 308 Win is like the 7.62 X 51 not the 7.62 X 39. The 308 Win will not chamber in an SKS it is too long.
None... it is the same sized bullet (.308 diameter). You have to choose the selection of bullet when reloading 30-30 ammo for the type of bullet. A pointed bullet in a tubular magazine can present a problem when the rifle recoils. The ammo is not interchangable, you must shoot the ammo that the rifle was chambered for.
No. The ammo used by military snipers (not designated marksmen) is hand loaded by the Ordinance Corps. Also, the military doesn't use .308 - they use 7.62x51, which matches the .308 Winchester in dimension, but differs in areas such as neck angles and case thickness.
The 308 caliber guns are more expensive than 5.56 assault rifles.
