Cartridges can be classified by type of firearm, by caliber or by type of primer (e.g. centerfire, rimfire). See Category:Cartridge families for more information on different categories of cartridges. The lists include:
The .45-75 Winchester / 11.62x48mmR Centennial is an intermediate centerfire rifle cartridge developed in 1876 for the newly designed Winchester Model 1876 Centennial lever-action rifle. Winchester Repeating Arms Company introduced the rifle and cartridge at the United States Centennial Exposition .
This naturally invited competition. Winchester offered the cartridge loaded .50/90/473 (.50 caliber/90 grains black powder/473 grain grease grooved bullet) with paper patched bullets which may be how the cartridge came to be commonly known as the .50-90. The .50-90 Sharps is similar to the .50-100 Sharps and .50-110 Sharps cartridges.
By comparison, the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge, used in the M16 and M4 rifles, produces between 1,200–1,300 foot-pounds force (1,600–1,800 joules), while the .308 Winchester, a favorite for hunters, police, and military snipers, produces between 2,000–3,000 foot-pounds force (2,700–4,100 joules) depending on the load used.
Although not originally designed for handguns, several rifle and shotgun cartridges have also been chambered in a number of large handguns, primarily in revolvers like the Phelps Heritage revolver, Century Arms revolver, Thompson/Centre Contender break-open pistol, Magnum Research BFR, and the Pfeifer Zeliska revolvers.
