Frequently Asked Questions
Winchester M80 Ammo
What grain is 7.62 x51 M80?
7.62x51 NATO M80 Ball uses a full metal jacket projectile, with grain weight varying by manufacturer. Winchester M80 specifically uses 149 grains. Other manufacturers produce M80 at 146, 147, or 150 grains. No single grain weight is universal across all M80 production.
What caliber is a M80?
M80 Ball ammunition fires 7.62x51mm NATO rounds. It features a full metal jacket bullet and is used in weapons such as the M60 and M240 machine guns and various 7.62mm rifles.
Is 7.62x51mm NATO the same as 308 Win?
Nearly identical. Both fire .308-caliber bullets from similar cases, but 7.62x51 NATO runs slightly lower pressure with a thicker case and slightly longer headspace. .308 Win runs higher pressure, but most sources consider the two rounds effectively interchangeable in practice, in either chamber direction.
Is M80 ball steel core?
M80 Ball does not have a steel core. It uses a lead core with a gilding metal jacket. It is standard 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition used in rifles and machine guns. Steel core variants exist in the M80A1 EPR and M61 AP rounds, but not standard M80 Ball.
Can I shoot 7.62x51 out of a 308 barrel?
Yes, you can generally shoot 7.62x51 NATO out of a .308 Winchester barrel, but it is not always without issue. NATO rounds can occasionally be out of spec for a .308 chamber, so gauge a few rounds first. The reverse—shooting .308 Win in a 7.62 NATO rifle—also carries risk.
How much does a 7.62 x51 drop at 500 yards?
Standard M80 Ball (147gr) fired from a 22-inch barrel at roughly 2,800 fps drops approximately 56 inches at 500 yards when zeroed at 100 yards. Actual drop varies with muzzle velocity, ballistic coefficient, and zero distance, so use a ballistic calculator with your specific load data.
Is the M80 ball accurate?
M80 Ball meets military accuracy standards of 5 inches mean radius at 600 yards. It performs acceptably for range training and general rifle use. Match ammunition is more precise, but M80 Ball is reliable at combat distances.
Who makes Winchester ammo now?
Olin Corporation owns and manufactures Winchester ammunition. Winchester operates as a division of Olin and produces rifle, pistol, and shotgun ammunition for civilian, law enforcement, and military markets from its primary facility in East Alton, Illinois.
