The rimless 7×59mm Meunier round was substantially more powerful than 8mm Lebel. The 7×59mm Meunier had a muzzle velocity of 3,412 ft/s (1,040 m/s). It had a steel core as well as the 7×57mm (7.2×56.95mm) adopted the same year and retained later for the Meunier rifle of 1916 with a velocity reduced to 2,690 ft/s (820 m/s).
