MK 262 MOD 1 was developed out of 27 different commercial match projectiles in 1999, and then narrowed down to three, with the Sierra 77gr Match King being chosen for the availability. The MK 262 MOD 0 has no cannalure. The MK 262 MOD 1 or the "Navy long range heavy ball" weighs 77 gr, made from either Sierra Match King or Nosler Custom Comptition (J4 OTM) bullets. Has a small hole at tip, with a cannalure, and is only mfg. at Black Hills. It is considered to be very accurate and carries well over long distances, but gives poor performance on intermediate barriers. Comparable to Hornaday 75 gr Tap T2. wolf

There is no such thing as a RAUFOSS high explosive round in any caliber smaller than .50 BMG! Too small amount of explosive to fill up what limited space available in the projectile head. This was sold on the internet as ".30 cal Real Raufoss Bullets". I wasn't disappointed to see that it was a......
Type ZR explosive incendiary bullet made by either Soviet or Chinese, in 7.62x54r. It has an internal striking mechanism that dentonates an explosive capsule of Tetryl, and in turn, scatters the incendiary composition held in the nose portion of the envelope. Still in use today as a "Spotter" round, it should have a red tip. This was turned down, then repainted green over white, like a real MK211 .50 BMG RAUFOSS. I also have a fake .223 RAUFOSS with lime green tips that hasn't been cut open yet! wolf

Developed by the AAI corp in the late 50's to 60's during the Special Purpose Individual Weapon Program for Project Salvo by the US goverment.
Started with forty two companies and only 10 submitting proposals including Remington, Springfield, and Winchester.
Several types were developed like the XM110 .223 flechete with green fiberglass sabot (earilest), and XM645 .223 flechete with special moveable primer.
Was asked to do some group photos.
