The 7.62 is larger dia. than the 7mm and adds a more weight for very little extra stopping power. I would take the 10% extra ammo for that small of a gain.

Yes, but by using the 7.62 NATO, that means that you can either supplement the squad machine gunner's ammo, or if he has extra, use it in your weapon (if he has an M240G, not the POS M249).

(Overwhelmingly superior firepower and the willingness to use it is the only proven peace solution.)
