The .308 Winchester and the 7.62 NATO cartridges are similar in size, but slightly different in chambering, thickness of the cartridge case, and pressures in loading. The 7.62 NATO cartridge may be safely fired in a .308 Winchester firearm. The reverse is not always true.

What is the difference between a 308 caliber bullet and a 7.62mm bullet?

First, there are BULLETS and there are CARTRIDGES- then there is US and then there is Europe. In the US, a .308 bullet IS a 7.62 mm bullet. The .308 Winchester CARTRIDGE is similar to, but slightly different from the 7.62 NATO cartridge. The .308 has minor differences in the case measurements, has slightly less internal volume (due to thicker military brass) and is loaded to higher pressures that the military 7.62 NATO. The NATO round can be safely fired from a .308 Winchester rifle, but the reverse is not true. In Europe, they measure bore diameter differently than the US does. Due to the different measuring technique, what the Europeans CALL a 7.62 mm (like the 7.62x39 cartridge for the SKS) is really closer to .311 than .308.


What is the difference between a 308 and a 450 caliber rifle?

Given the limited information in your question I can only give a general reply. The caliber is the diameter of the rifle groove to groove in thousands of inches. So the difference would be .450" - .308" which equals .142". There are a lot of specified rounds of ammunition that use .308 and .450 bullets. In general the larger caliber bullet would also be more powerful.


What is the value of an Enfield 308 bolt action sniper rifle?

No such rifle. The Lee Enfield was made in caliber .303 British, not .308. The closest thing would be the Ishapore 2A or 2A1 rifle, made in caliber 7.62 NATO. While similar the .308 Winchester, it is not the same, and .308 should not be fired in a 7.62 NATO rifle. The Lee Enfield "sniper" rifle in .303, if original and complete (and not an aftermarket conversion) may sell for around $1500, depending on condition and accesories. There are many fakes on the market- be sure of what you are buying.
