3 paź 2020 · From this comparison, we feel pretty confident in stating that the .308 Win is going to provide you with more bullet momentum than a 7.62x39mm factory load. That is going to conclude the comparisons of these two cartridges from a ballistics and terminal performance standpoint.
The answers are “Yes” and “Most of the time”, respectively. Picking up a modern rifle, carbine, or handgun chambered in 7.62x51 NATO, most will have chambers built to handle 308 ammo. However, older 7.62 NATO chambers are NOT built to handle the increased pressure of the modern 308 Winchester round.
11 sie 2023 · The .308 Win is longer in size and carries more powder and heavier bullets when compared to the 7.62x39 mm. Interestingly, the 7.62x39 mm uses a marginally thicker bullet; however, it is no match for the higher pressure, longer range, and more hitting power of the .308 Win.
10 lut 2023 · This is reinforced when comparing 7.62×39 to any sort of capable commercial .308 Winchester load rather than the mass-produced military M80 load of 7.62×51. Here’s a table for Hornady’s 168-grain ELD Match load of .308 Winchester (G1 BC of .523) calculated using a muzzle velocity of 2,700 fps.
The table below compares a 123gr Hornady SST (.295 BC) load in 7.62x39mm to a 150gr Winchester Deer Season XP (.392 BC) load in .308 Winchester and a 150gr SPBT (.354 BC) load by PPU in 7.62x54R. This data is for Hornady, Winchester, and Prvi Partizan factory ammo using a 200 yard zero.
6 wrz 2022 · Let’s chat about the ballistic differences between 7.62×39 VS 308. As you’ll see, the 308 carries significantly more power out past 200 yards. That’s not just an advantage in velocity, but in energy as well. In fact, the 308 bullet has over twice the energy at 300 yards as the 7.62×39 round.
2 lis 2021 · The bottom line is that 7.62x39 packs more than enough punch to put down medium-sized game within 200 yards, but in terms of raw stopping power – especially at longer distances – .308 is the undisputed champ.
