So I bought 100 rounds of this stuff linked up from a old guy at a flea market for 35 bucks... Should I pull the bullets and load 7.62 nato or get something to shoot it? Will being loaded in 7.62 nato take the performance way down?
>is .308 Special less powerful than M2 AP .30-06
Could you really not answer this question your self

no. 762 NATO was literally designed to mimic the babyshit 30-06 the M1 Garands required.

Literally asking if the ap aspect will be marginally less where it'd just be worth it the keep the m2 and not pull the bullets. Like not going through ar500 for example.

M2 is ballistically identical to 7.62 NATO. That was the requirement of the round you faggit.
M2 AP isn't even AP as it's the defacto standard that lvl 4 armor is intended to stop.

>AP isn't AP if there was armor developed to stop it
WEW

M2 Ball =/= M2 AP.

Nearly identical velocity. Cry more.

It's 130 FPS faster and a 10% heavier bullet. That's a significant difference. It's like 400 ft/lbs more energy
> paying more than $.20 for surp

Being wealthy enough couple more bucks isn't diving into my food budget...

It's heavier but the velocity is the same. The difference comes from changes in what distance the "muzzle velocity" was taken at. If you compare the two, they're essentially the same in terms of performance.

He has never bought m2 ap. Or m2 ball for that matter just spouting off
>>35060475
1947 or Czechoslovakia

Ohh look, it's a faggot that bought a nugget and two spam cans 10 years ago and hasn't shot it more than once a year.
