Hello, I recently acquired an 105mm M148A1B1 case fitted with an ELEC M63 primer, dated 1972 and manufactured by Norris Industries.
The markings as well as the very high dot crimp on the case would make it correct for a M456A1 HEAT as used by the M60A1 tank (it's too early for APFSDS and, as far as I know, the M392A1 APDS-T used the ELEC M120 primer and wasn't crimped in the case).
Unfortunately, I've been unable to find proper dimensions for this projectile outside of these sketches.
Does anybody have a better blueprint or an actual example that can be measured? Thank you!
