Hardened Steel core (Ball?) -- 6.0g (~93gr) ---- 880mps (~2885 fps)
Tungsten Carbide core AP ---- 7.3g (~113gr) --- 800mps (~2625 fps)
Looks like the velocities were measured @ 10 meters from the muzzle?

The Zastava M17 receiver is basically AK, and I don't see the Serb military fielding new 7.62x39 mags that aren't interchangeable with their existing 7.62x39 mags.
So, I think it's very likely that the 6.5 G mags would fit any rifle that accepts standard AK 7.62x39 mags.

If they were smart, they took advantage of the length of bullet nose offered them and made a very sleek nose on their bullets, despite the weight being lighter. That would give the best of both worlds: Hardened steel or tungsten cores that retain as much velocity as possible at range.:: 6.5 GRENDEL Deer and Targets :: 6mmARC Targets and Varmints and Deer :: 22 ARC Varmints and Targets

The bullet ogive probably has the same shape as that of the Prvi 110gr FMJ.*
*The bullet can be seen (albeit not very well, due to image size) 1:59-2:03 in the video above.
FYI: I'm not absolutely certain, but it looks like the velocity figures above may be for 20" barrel.
I got that from comparing video Grendel and 7.62x39 velocities to the 24" data on Prvi website.Last edited by stanc; 11-19-2017, 03:44 AM.
