Good day Peter,
Not sure about the electric primer... can you provide a rear view picture??
Anyway, what I think it is... .50 Cal. M-860 Tracer, Plastic Practice Cartridge. (Chap 9 of the pub. in first link below, p.140/325) except that it is a percusion primer that is associate to this round... Basicly, these type of round are use for low cost training.
Hope the info is useful for you...

best regards.
Luc.

Are you shure about the electric primer. It looks like a normal German short range PT to me.

an other type and some 7,62x51.

The electric primer is likely correct (since such ones are known), also the red tip is made of red plastic. As far as we know this is a DAG product.

Here the hs:

Thanks to all for the good Infos.
But why has it a electrical Primer. For what a Gun is it ?

My thoughts also. I know of no electrically fired .50 calibre weapon.

Is it absolutely certain that is an electric primer and not an inserted small percussion primer?
