Table 4-13 7.62mm Ammunition
4-13.4.3. Cartridge Case. The brass cartridge case is 2.015 inches (5.11 centimeters) long and weighs approximately 185 grains (11.99 grams).
4-13.4.4. Bullet. The boat-tailed bullet consists
of a gilding metal jacket, a steel core, and a lead- antimony point and base filler. It is 1.28 inches (3.25 centimeters) long and weighs 150.5 grains (9.75 grams).
4-13.4.5. Ballistic Data. The ballistic data for
the cartridge are as follows:
a. Velocity. The basic velocity shall be 2,750 fps (838 meters per second) at 78 feet (23 meters) from the muzzle.
b. Pressure. The average chamber pressure shall not exceed 50,000 psi (3,515 kilograms/ centimeters2 [344.8 MPa]) at a temperature of approximately 70°F (21°C)
c. Accuracy. The average of the mean radii of all targets at the time of acceptance at 600 yards (548 meters) is not greater than 7.5 inches (19 cen- timeters).
4-13.5. Cartridge, 7.62 Millimeter, NATO, Tracer, M62 (A124), (Al27), (A140), (A131), (A165), (A168).
4-13.5.1. Intended Use. This cartridge is pro-
cured for use in M60 series, Mk 43 and Mk 25 (GAU-2B/A), GAU-17 and M240 machine guns and M14 rifles for signaling, incendiary, target des- ignation, and range estimation.
4-13.5.2. Description. The cartridge consists of
a brass cartridge case and a bullet with an orange tip for identification. The cartridge is 2.80 inches (7.11 centimeters) long, weighs approximately 383 grains (24.818 grams). It contains approximately 47.0 grains (3.04 grams) of propellant composition (WC 846) and a 5.4-grain (.349 gram) lead-styph- nate primer.
4-13.5.3. Cartridge Case. The brass cartridge
case is 2.015 inches (5.11 centimeters) long and weighs approximately 185 grains (11.99 grams).
4-13.5.4. Bullet. The boat-tailed bullet has a
gilding metal-clad steel jacket, a lead-antimony point with a 6.5-grain (.42 gram) tracer (R-284)
composition, subigniter and igniter compositions, and a closure cup. It is 1.35 inches (3.42 centime- ters) long and weighs approximately 141 grains (9.14 grams).
4-13.5.5. Ballistic Data. The ballistic data for
the cartridge are as follows:
a. Velocity. The basic velocity shall be 2,750 fps (838 meters per second) at 78 feet (23 meters) from the muzzle.
b. Pressure. The average chamber pressure shall not exceed 50,000 psi (3,515 kilograms/ centimeters2 [34.8 MPa]).
c. Accuracy. The average mean radii of all targets at the time of acceptance at 600 yards (548 meters) are not greater than 12 inches (30.48 centimeters).
d. Range. A requirement calls for the tracer visibility to begin approximately 100 yards (91.44 meters) from the muzzle and lasting approximately 750 yards (685.8 meters).
4-13.6. Cartridge, 7.62 Millimeter, NATO, Test, High-Pressure, M60 (A129).
4-13.6.1. Intended Use. This cartridge is pro-
cured for proof-firing rifles, machine guns, and barrels. The propellant composition load results in a higher chamber pressure than other 7.62mm car- tridges. The excessive chamber pressure and the consequent danger when firing the M60 cartridge require certain safety precautions. These include test firing guns under a hood, from a fixed rest with a mechanical firing device. Only authorized per- sonnel carry out these tests.
