Many people will assume the CUP PSI is the same as SAAMI/Commercial PSI. Since there is no conversion for the CUP measurement to the newer electronic measured PSI, they are two different numbers i.e no direct comparison. You will see many cling to the 50-55K PSI figure for 7.62 Nato becuase that is what the old Army TMs have in them. **As a side note the reason the pressure issue is confusing is becuase the military measured 7.62 NATO chamber pressure (PSI) via CUP (in the 40s) vice the normal commercial rating of PSI measured (now) with electronic means. 308 has a slightly higher pressure 60Kish vice 50-55 CUP psi for NATO**. Both cases will have the same external dimensions while the. 308 and 7.62 is chamber size, slight pressure differences due to powder burn rates, not external case size. 308's are NATO chambered and will accept both 7.62 and.

I think with a good cleaning and a good lubing she will be a really good rifle. The only problem was opening the bolt to extract the round was pretty tough and flung the shell casings up to 10 feet. Shots were grouping within 2 to 3 inches but that is leaning on a vehicle so I'm sure that the rifle can perform than my meager shooting can do. Either way I loaded 5 rounds of Federal Fusion 165gr into the K98 and took aim at 50 yards. When I got out there though I foolishly remembered that I had forgot to clean the rifle. So I took the K98 out and decided to put it through it's paces. 308) since that is what the US could provide. Almost all of these were converted to 7.62x51mm (aka. Most of the K98 Mausers ended up in Israel. Most of the guns (ones that weren't captured DURING the war) were taken and distributed around the world. For those that don't know, after WWII the Allies disarmed Germany.
