Chamber Dimensions for the JP - LRP-07 .308 or 7.62X51

[Required one]

If you have a JP - LRP-07 in a .308 I would like to know what your exact chamber size is. Is it a .308 chamber or is it a NATO 7.62X51?

As you know the NATO 7.62X51 chamber is longer by 13 thousandths to the .308 chamber.



Thanks

Send JP an email. They are very receptive and quick to respond. Then you don't have to rely on internet rumors.

I already did but I always check both sides of the fence. I would like to hear from an owner as this is best.

Anyway, thanks for your advice!

Safe chamber headspace for the .308 Winchester cartidge is between 1.6300 and 1.6340 inches. The equivalent minimum and maximum values for 7.62x51mm NATO chambers are 1.6355 and 1.6405 inches. Here are those numbers in chart form:

I have one and it's stamped 308W. To assure smooth feeding and no stoppages, I use a small base FL die to prep brass.

You got some good advice from GBTX01, JP is most responsive to questions about their products. Let us know what they say.
