Intelligence:
one of the most ubiquitous pistol rounds is the .308 Winchester. Introduced in 1952, the .308 Winchester is for all intents and purposes identical to the NATO standard round 7.62x51mm. It is used in the M-60 machine gun, as well as the coaxial machine gun on the M-1 Abrams battle tank and the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. The .308 has become the most prevalent round for hunting and sniping worldwide. In addition, it is the standard round for law enforcement SWAT teams and long range competitive shooters alike. .308 Winchester is available in weights from 150 to 180 grain, with velocities ranging from 2,740 to 2,820. It has served our country for decades.
