7.5mm 1882 Ordnance

1

The Swiss 7.5mm center-fire revolver cartridge, also known as 7.5x23mmR, was used militarily in the 1882 and 1882/1929 revolvers of the Swiss army, as well as in Swiss civilian revolvers of the 'bulldog' type. The case is of brass; the heeled bullet is of a hard lead alloy, fully jacketed and coated externally with a wax lubricant. Originally it was loaded with 0.7 g of black powder. Similar revolver cartridges were used in the late 19th century military revolvers adopted by the armies of Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway, and Serbia.
