Is there a difference in the two? Can they be used interchangeably?

Or is it like the 5.56 vs .223 thing?

The platform would be either an AR10 or a short action Remington 700 (or both).

Not the same. If chambered in .308 you can also use 7.62x51 safely.

Wait..what? Did someone hack alamo's account? This question from the guy that typically researches and over thinks everything before writing a one thousand word essay pontificating the nuances of questions that often boil down to personal preference? This is the type of question where I typically just provide a link to Google, or if I'm feeling really snarky, to lmgtfy.com.
