In Norway there have been several examples of .308 Winchester cartridges being fired in Norwegian K98k surplus rifles rechambered for .30-06 Springfield. In Norwegian military nomenclature the first is called 7.62×51 mm (nicknamed " 7.62 kort ", literally '7.62 short'), while the latter is called 7.62×63 mm (nicknamed " 7.62 lang ", literally ...
Cartridge adapters have also been made to use .38 caliber handgun cartridges with bullet diameters of approximately .357-inch (9.1 mm) in .35 caliber rifles designed for bullets of .358-inch (9.1 mm) diameter. [3] Supplemental chambers in .22 caliber, and potentially .17 caliber as well, pose a special problem not shared by larger calibers.
The maximum average pressure rating for this cartridge is 52,000 psi (360 MPa). [7] Among the first pistols chambered in .30 Super Carry were the Smith & Wesson Shield EZ 30 SC and the Shield Plus 30 SC. [8] In May 2023, Hi-Point released the Hi-Point 3095 carbine chambered in .30 SC. [9]
Magnum-action cartridges, are usually rifle cartridges that are both longer and more powerful than traditional full-powered rifle long-action cartridges, with a COL between 85 and 91 mm (3.34 and 3.6 in), including some of the long-action cartridges with a case head larger than 13 mm (.50 in) diameter, which is most commonly exemplified by the ...
This allows for the cartridge to be longer than the standardized 2.260" SAAMI maximum overall length. These cartridges can be safely loaded to a length that has the ogive portion of the bullet just touching the rifle's lands. Many competitive shooters will make these cartridges 0.005" less than the truly maximum allowable overall length, for ...

The Automag III was principally chambered for the .30 Carbine cartridge, which was originally designed for the World War II -era M1 Carbine .
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 key design change was the use of "duplex rounds", a single cartridge with two bullets in it.Olin Corporation produced three different rounds for testing, the first consisting of two tungsten projectiles in a long-necked case, the second used a standard-length case with two 1.7 grams (27 gr), 4.0-millimetre (0.158 in) tungsten projectiles, and the final entry was another standard-length ...
