7.62 x 51MM/308

.62×51mm / .308 Winchester covers ammunition associated with one of the most influential full power rifle cartridges of the post Second World War period. Adopted by NATO as 7.62×51mm and closely related to the commercial .308 Winchester, this cartridge family has seen extensive military, law enforcement, competition, and sporting use. Its long service life has made it a frequent platform for technical experimentation, alternative bullet designs, and specialized loadings.

This category includes live cartridges, inert and dummy rounds, blanks, belt links, experimental cases and projectiles, cutaway or display items, and boxed commercial ammunition. Shown examples range from NATO ball and training dummies to commercial hunting and match loads, police and safety projectiles, reduced capacity experimental cases, and nonstandard bullet constructions. The mix reflects both the military standardization of 7.62×51mm and the parallel evolution of .308 Winchester as a flexible test bed for ballistic development and specialized applications.
