Indian SMLE .308 caliber bolt rifles.

[Gil Martin]

The topic was .308 Indian Enfields and as the link I posted pointed out, .308 pressures can go up to levels that I would not shoot in a British Enfield. You shot 7.62 NATO ball in your Indian Enfield and as I pointed out that would be OK due to the lower pressures. I am sure a Remington 700 can handle the pressures.

There is no danger in shooting 7.62 NATO out of a .308 chamber so Midway would have no reason to advise folks to cease and desist shooting 7.62NATO rounds out of a .308. There may be a problem in shooting .308 ammo out of a relatively weak action.

All the best...
