This review details the Black Hills MK262 MOD 1, a high-precision 5.56mm combat round developed for SOCOM. It highlights the round's origins, technical evolution from MOD 0 to MOD 1 with a cannelure for reliability, and superior terminal ballistics compared to standard M855.

The M198 Duplex Ball ammunition from Project SALVO fired two 83-grain bullets at 2500-2600 fps from a 7.62 NATO case.

Despite its effectiveness, high manufacturing costs and military doctrine prevented its adoption.
