Overbore cartridges are those with a relatively large case volume or case capacity, coupled with a relatively small diameter bullet. The case volume or case capacity and barrel bore area can be mathematically related to obtain a case volume to bore area ratio in metric or imperial units.
Part of the contract is to further refine 5.56 mm cased telescoped ammunition, and develop 7.62 mm cased telescoped cartridges. [9] Beginning in late 2020, a polymer telescopic case based rifle designed by Textron, a US based defense contractor, was under consideration in the Next Generation Squad Weapon trials run by the United States Army.

The larger diameter, shorter 6 mm cartridge is optimized for these shorter barrel lengths, and would perform less efficiently from rifle-length barrels. The round's muzzle energy is 831 ft⋅lbf (1,127 J) versus 792 ft⋅lbf (1,074 J) for a 5.56 mm bullet, again from the same 10" standard barrel.
The 240 mm (1 in 9.45 in) twist rate normally found in the 8×57mm IS makes the 8×68mm S combined with modern bullets with jackets designed for magnum cartridges an excellent long range cartridge. Reloaders use the 8×68mm S as a utility cartridge on all European game from fox , roe deer and chamois upwards to the big European game like red ...
The cartridge is standardized by the C.I.P. and is also known as .404 Rimless Nitro Express. [6] It was designed in 1905 by London based gunmaker W.J. Jeffery & Co to duplicate the performance of the .450/400 Nitro Express 3-inch in bolt-action rifles. [ 7 ]
