About the name of this article, it should be 7.62x51mm, not 7.62X51. A lowercase "x" stands for "by", so it would be like saying 7.62 by 51mm rounds. Also, mm should be added behind 51 because that shows the unit of measure for the rounds. It is called 7.62x51mm, not 7.62X51.

About the name of this article, it should be 7.62x51mm, not 7.62X51. A lowercase "x" stands for "by", so it would be like saying 7.62 by 51mm rounds. Also, mm should be added behind 51 because that shows the unit of measure for the rounds. It is called 7.62x51mm, not 7.62X51.
