A 3 + 1 ⁄ 8-inch variant would later be loaded with cordite to become the .577/500 Nitro Express. [1] For some time the .577/500 No. 2 BPE was loaded with cordite to become the .577/500 No. 2 Nitro for Black, the same cartridge loaded with mild loadings of cordite, carefully balanced through trial to replicate the ballistics of the black ...
They were called a 5-in-1 blanks, because, when they were originally introduced, they could be fired in the five different firearms commonly used in Hollywood Westerns, namely .38-40 and .44-40 Winchester lever-action rifles and .38-40 Winchester, .44-40 Winchester, and .45 Colt single-action revolvers. 5-in-1 blanks are also called a 3-in-1 ...

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 cartridges were still manufactured by Eley Brothers and Kynoch as late as 1962. [1] In the 1890s Holland & Holland developed the .297/250 Rook cartridge by blowing out the neck of the .297/230 Morris Long cartridge to .250 in (6.4 mm). [7]
The cartridge case itself was designed by cutting off the .348 Winchester case to 1.405 in (35.7 mm), turning the rim to a diameter of .610 in (15.5 mm) and opening the case mouth to accept a .510 caliber (12.95 mm) bullet. The first revolvers converted to use the .500 Linebaugh were the Ruger Bisley and the Seville revolvers.
Due to the popularity of the .32 Long Colt and, later, the more accurate .32 Smith & Wesson Long, the older .32-caliber cartridges, such as the .320 and the .32 Rimfire, declined in popularity and were eventually more or less obsolete by the 1920s. In Brazil, both .320 guns and ammo (double-barreled, side-by-side pistols) were made up to the 1960s.
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.
