Lake City Production M62A1 Tracer.
Bullet Weight: 130.8 gr
Bullet Length:  1.3370"
Powder Charge: 43.7gr
OAL: 2.782

Bullet utilizes a copper core that extends from the tip to just below the cannelure, and the rest is filled with tracer compound. Bullet has a darker red painted tip. I'm going to send a couple to Kevin Gross to properly section :D

A lead-free 7.62X51 tracer? Interesting. Maybe designed to go with the MK319 loads that I believe are also 130gr? For the SCAR-H rather than belt-feds?

I wonder how the trajectory compares with the typical 147, 150gr M80 FMJ ammo used in belts.

This was from a linked belt of M80A1 (x4) to M62A1 (1). The little info I found says this is to have the same trajectory as the M80A1, which is also 130gr.
