The 7.62x51mm Round is a loose rifle cartridge. Three rifles fire it: the MSR788 Rifle, the M1A Rifle and the MSR7T Tactical Rifle. The M1A Rifle feeds from the M1A Magazine. The round is loosely based on the real Winchester .308, a common hunting cartridge.
Loose 7.62x51mm Rounds come from opening a Box of 7.62x51mm Rounds. One box holds 20 rounds. The rounds can be packed back into a box for storage. The Veteran is the best occupation for ammo. It starts with the most Reloading skill. The Police Officer also starts with some Reloading skill.
Uses
Besides loading rifles, the 7.62x51mm Round has two other uses. The Pack Ammo in Box recipe turns 20 loose rounds back into one Box of 7.62x51mm Rounds. A full box keeps a stockpile tidy in a container. The Gather Gunpowder recipe breaks rounds down into Gunpowder. That powder goes into the Pipe Bomb and the crafted Firecracker.

Locations
Loose 7.62x51mm Rounds come off zombies rather than out of containers. Zombies dressed as private militia carry them most often. Hunter zombies carry them a little less often. A militia zombie carries them a little more than one time in eight. A hunter zombie carries them about one time in ten. Both kinds of zombie are worth searching after a kill. The same two outfits also carry 5.56x45mm Rounds and 12g Rounds.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container.
| Location | Container | Chance |

| Any building | Zombie wearing a hunter outfit | 10.8% |

- The rounds must go into an M1A Magazine before the M1A Rifle can fire them.
- Rifle boxes hold 20 rounds, fewer than the 50 in a pistol box.
- Spare rounds can be turned into Gunpowder for crafting.
