if we can trust wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62%D739mm Current standard ammo(steel core) it's 16.3g for the cartdrige, 7.9g for bullet and about 1.6g for the filling give or take 25.8g per munition, lets round it up to 26g. 26g x 500 means 13kg. That weight is bare ammo, it doesn't include the stamped metal magazines. The move from 7.62(nato or pact) to 5.56/5.45 was motivated also by reducing ammo weight to be lugged around by each soldier(and most new rounds introduced since then used that point to justify itself as equivalent to X but smaller/lighter).

Jobbo_Fett posted:You don't add cartridge, bullet, and filling. Oh, I thought wikipedia used cartridge for the casing weight. If that's so it's "just" 8.15 kgs.
