That makes it real, real hard to confuse with a 7.62 then.

There are several variants of 7.62. I just miked a 7.62x39 and the overall length is 2.145. I know the 7.62x54 Nato round is longer, obviously.

It doesn't matter that I can pick up a round and mike it, I can also read. The bottom of the case clearly indicates what round it is, and the manufacturer. Even if it's coded, I pick up a book and figure it out in a couple of minutes. Sheesh.

I don't know why it took the cops so long.
