I don't understand: are you saying that if the rifle in the article had
a proof mark that it wouldn't have been destroyed? Do you have
supporting evidence for this? The writer clearly places the blame on the
ammunition anyway.

I suspect part of the difference in case life is neck

ammunition always shows a very marked amount of heat
treating at the shoulder.
Actually all cases get heat treated the same. The difference is

The reference to Chinese 7,62 NATO is interesting, as
I remember a series of articles in Guns Review about
ammunition and the author had encountered some 80's

I think Ed has a point about the different brass being used for
military and civilian ammunition.
I do not load to maximum pressures, so I have not noticed that the
military cases generate higher pressures, but the case life is very
different.

In the NRA bible some years ago, there was, ISTR, a warning about using
commercial .308 ammo in military 7.62 rifles. And also a warning about
using military 5.56 ammo in commercial .223 rifles. Anyone got further

Aren't the 308 Winchester and 7.62 NATO interchangeable rather than
