The Mk 262 MOD 0 was adopted in 2002. Issues came up in development including reliability problems in different temperatures and when the weapon got dirty, and cycling issues in cold weather due to the slightly shorter barrel of the SPR compared to the full-length M16A2 barrel.
The Close Quarter Battle Receiver (CQBR) [5] is a replacement upper receiver for the M4A1 carbine developed by the US Navy.. The CQBR features a 10.3 in (262 mm) length barrel (similar to the Colt Commando short-barreled M16 variants of the past) which makes the weapon significantly more compact, thus making it easier to use in, and around, vehicles and in tight, confined spaces.

The information about Hornady 75 gr bullets came from an old version of the Ammo Oracle website. This presumably was based on previous SOCOM ...

Mk 262 Mod 1 has a lower threshold velocity for reliable fragmentation than does M855 Ball. The CQBR's short barrel length cuts velocity enough that M855 has a very limited range before fragmentation ceases. The use of Mk 262 Mod 1 in the CQBR allows for fragmentation at longer distances.
