no the 308 is a hotter load than the 7.62 and should not be fired in 7.62 guns

Like randy said 308 is hotter than 7.62, so 308 shouldn't be fired in a 7.62. with that said this has been a pretty big argument with people for years some swear it's safe some swear it's not. Alot of people say in new modern rifles it's fine just not with older rifles. I'm just telling you what you'll probably hear if you go to a gunshop and ask this question, I'm in no way saying it's ok to shoot 308 out of a 7.62. hope this helps.

Dennis, for safety and warranty reasons, the manufacturer - Sig Sauer - would be the absolute best place to ask at 603-610-3000 option 1 Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5:00pm EST.
