Assuming that you are referring to the .308 Winchester cartridge, listing every firearm capable of utilizing it would be exceedingly difficult. The .308 Winchester (and the closely related 7.62x51mm NATO) represents a refinement of the earlier .30-06 Springfield cartridge into a package of similar power but smaller dimensions capable of operating in a larger variety of firearms.

Almost every major firearms manufacturer who produces rifles (especially true of those in the US) will have multiple models which accept the .308 Winchester cartridge. While in prior eras there was some concern about the interchanging of 7.62x51mm NATO and .308 most any firearm manufactured this millennium capable of chambering one can chamber the other, this serves to further expand what is already an extremely large list. While overwhelmingly a rifle cartridge, there have even been a small number of niche handguns designed to fire this popular cartridge.

What is the difference between a 30-30 and a 308 bullet?

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.


Can 243 ammo be shot from a rifle chambered for 308?

It MAY shoot. It will not shoot well. It may not shoot safely. The .243 is a necked down .308 cartridge. You are sending a .24 bullet rattling down a .30 barrel. It may or may not trap enough gas to cycle an autoloader. It WILL blow out the case mouth.

Can you shoot 308 ammo in a 7.62x51 rifle?

Possibly. The commercial .308 Winchester generates higher chamber pressures than military 7.62x51 does, and this may not be advisable practice for all 7.61x51 rifles. If in doubt, inquire with the manufacturer of the rifle before using commercial .308 ammunition.


What is the most accurate 308 round for encore pistol?

The answer is not that simple. Different guns like different ammunition. The best bet is to get as wide a sampling of .308 (different manufacturers and wts.) that you can afford and spend the day at the range. Shoot off of sandbags and compare the groups. Go with the ammo that gives you the smallest set of groups. The worst thing that happens is you spend the day relieving a little stress. .
