The brass cases were required to have a length between 38.36 and 38.7 mm, so the cartridge was designated the "7.62×38mm". It was loaded with kugelpulver (Dutch / German: "ball powder"] and used non-corrosive Sinoxid primers. The headstamp bore the metric designation (7.62×38mm) at 12 o'clock, the 2-digit year at 4 o'clock, and the contractor ...
The 6.5 Grendel bullets have a true diameter of 6.71mm / 0.264" and the 6.5 Grendel case can be formed from abundant 7.62x39 cases with a neck re-sizing die, and fire-forming a slight change to the shoulder, if the case is made from brass. Many of the popular 7.62x39 cases are made from steel, which will not work for reforming the shoulder.
It fires a 5.6mm projectile from necked down 7.62×39mm brass. While it originally re-used 7.62x39 cases, once it became popular enough commercial ammunition started being manufactured, both in the USSR and in Finland.

Folks, I think the fellow was simply pointing out that the 5.56 mm and the 7.62x39 mm were lower power assault class rounds vs. the 7.62x51 mm Nato round. In point of fact the 7.62x51 mm Nato, 30.06, 308, 7.56x54 mm, rounds all have very comparable performance despite having small packaging differences. Tirronan 18:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
They can be chambered in 5.45×39mm, 5.56×45mm NATO and 7.62×39mm, and use a barrel and gas system assembly and iron sights line similar to that of the AK-74M/AK-100 rifle family. Improvements added from the AK-12 include Picatinny rails , a new pistol grip, a new adjustable buttstock and a new flash hider. [ 14 ]
The advantage of the 300 BLK (its similarity to the popular .223/5.56 caliber) can also be a safety issue if ammunition of the two calibers is mixed. Because of similar chamber dimensions between the two calibers, SAAMI has listed the combination of using a 300 BLK round in a .223 chamber as unsafe. [19]
