Hello, I'm an expert in firearms and ballistics. I'm here to help you with your question regarding the compatibility of .308 and 7.62x51 ammunition.
English Answer:
No, you should not shoot a .308 cartridge in a rifle chambered for 7.62x51 NATO ammunition. While the .308 Winchester (also known as 7.62x51) and 7.62x51 NATO cartridges have similar dimensions and are often confused, they are not the same and have different specifications. The 7.62x51 NATO round has a longer case and operates at a higher pressure than the .308 Winchester. Firing a .308 cartridge in a 7.62x51 chamber can result in insufficient pressure, leading to poor performance or even dangerous pressure spikes that could damage the firearm or cause injury. Always ensure that the ammunition you are using matches the specifications of your firearm's chamber.

That said, it is normally fine to shoot quality 7.62��51 NATO ammo in a gun chambered for the .308 Winchester (though not all NATO ammo is identical). ... So 7.62mm ammo fits nicely into .308 chambers, as a rule.�� You CAN encounter problems going the other way, however.
