No. The 7.62x54R round is a rimmed cartridge, first developed in 1891 for use with the Mosin Nagant rifle. The .308 Winchester is derived from the .300 Savage, and has dimensions similar to - but not identical to - the 7.62x51 NATO cartridge, which is also derived from the .300 Savage.Additionally, the 7.62x54R actually has a bullet diameter of 7.92mm, vs. the 7.8mm (.308 inches) of the .308 Winchester and 7.62x51.Another stark difference between the two is that the .308 is not a rimmed cartridge, instead using a cannlure.
Yes, a .308 Winchester round is generally considered more powerful than a .223 Remington round. The .308 Winchester has a larger bullet, more powder behind it, and generally produces higher muzzle energy than a .223 round. However, the suitability of each round depends on the intended use and personal preference.
When speaking of ammunition it is imperative to be precise with your numbers. The .308 Winchester is interchangable with the 7.62 NATO military round
The answer is maybe. The 7.62x51 NATO, the military round, was actually derived from .308 Winchester but has slightly different tolerances.

The term "308" typically refers to the .308 Winchester cartridge, which has a joule rating that can vary based on the specific load and bullet weight. Generally, a .308 Winchester round can produce approximately 3,000 to 4,000 joules of energy at the muzzle, depending on the bullet's mass and velocity. This energy rating makes it a powerful cartridge suitable for various types of hunting and shooting applications.
The cartridge in question is the .300 Winchester Magnum, and not the .308 WinMag. The .308 cartridge is about 16mm shorter than the .300 Winchester Magnum casing. The two are NOTinterchangeable.
