    .308 is 7.62, civilian measurement vs military (there’s actually implications related to pressures, sidewall thicknesses, machining tolerances, but yeah same same)

      Yeah, it’s generally safe to shoot 7.62 from a 308-chambered gun, but not the other way around.

        Same for 5.56 and .223.

      .308 is caliber in inches thus not metric.

        why do they use decimal for imperial units?
