The letter circulated by the good Maj (RET) Salisbury specifically bans "7.62 / .308 and above"
7.5 is definitely LESS than 7.62

I don't care what it's called, It fires a 308 bullet. Don't take it to Kingsbury.

Though technically speaking you can't measure a hole.
There's nothing there to measure.
All you can do is measure its borders...

Actually a .308" bullet is 7,82mm and the nomenclature (Is that the right word?) would suggest the 7,5 Swiss is 0,32mm smaller even though it is the same bullet...
