Military to Civilian amm0

[weswood]

As long as I can remember, the 5.56 Nato caliber's civilian equivalent is the .223 Remington. A friend has been telling me it will also fire a .223 Swift, which I've never heard of. He insist this is a real popular hunting round. I've hunted a lot, but I'm not a fanantic, I have only hunted once since my father died 11 years ago. I've never heard of a .223 swift.

Also, just to check my memory, a 7.62 Nato is also a .308 Winchester?

Thanks
