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.
Its purpose is to be an intermediate cartridge between the 40×46 mm low-velocity and 40×53 mm high-velocity cartridges and is thus referred to as 40 mm medium velocity. [ 2 ] The propellant has medium pressure and gives the projectile an average velocity of 100 m/s (328 ft/s) depending on the ammunition type. [ 2 ]
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.
From left to right: 9×19mm Parabellum (pistol cartridge) 7.92×33mm Kurz (intermediate-power rifle cartridge) 7.92×57mm Mauser (full-power rifle cartridge). A fully powered cartridge, also called full-power cartridge or full-size cartridge, is an umbrella term describing any rifle cartridge that emphasizes ballistic performance and single-shot accuracy, with little or no thought to its ...
The 3.7 cm KwK 36 used the 37 x 249 mm. R cartridge. Average penetration performance established against rolled homogeneous steel armor plate laid back at 30° from the vertical. [1] PzGr.18 (Armour-piercing) Weight of projectile: 0.658 kg (1 lb 7.2 oz) Muzzle velocity: 745 m/s (2,440 ft/s)
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.

In his African Rifles and Cartridges, John "Pondoro" Taylor stated the .475 No 2 Nitro Express is "an eminently satisfactory shell and a certain killer - but don't let yourself be hypnotised by that great fat gleaming shell into the belief that you have something comparable with the atomic bomb to play with!"
The 6mm Lee Navy (6×60mmSR), also known as the 6mm U.S.N. [1] or .236 Navy, [2] is an obsolete American rifle cartridge. [3] It was the service cartridge of the United States Navy and Marine Corps from 1895 (therefore replacing the .45-70 Government rifle cartridge) to 1899, when it was then itself replaced by the more modern .30-40 Krag rifle cartridge.
