7.62mm Caseless United States
Details
| Type | Ball |
|---|---|
| Projectile | FMJ, GM, steel core, red tip, 1 knurled cannelure |
| Case | caseless |
| Primer | percussion, flat |
| Headstamp | [none] |
| Notes | The red tip indicates the projectile is M59 ball, and not a tracer. There is a shallow hole drilled near the base of the case to accept the link tab from an M13 link. This may be from a 540-round test lot of "Minni Rounds", loaded in 1965, that were to be tested in a modified M73 machine gun. However, the OAL doesn't exactly match what was reported for these rounds. |
