The case is rimmed, straight taper, brass and Berdan primed. The standard military loading was a 7.12 g jacketed round-nose bullet, whilst a 6.95 g lead bullet was provided for police and other official use and is still the preferred bullet for target shooting. The cartridge identical in dimensions and is fully interchangeable with 7.5mm Swedish and Norwegian revolver rounds. Introduced in 1882 for use with a Nagant revolver adopted by the Swiss Army. A similar cartridge, which is interchangeable, was adopted in
Sweden and Norway in 1887 when they also placed a Nagant revolver in service. Although officially superseded as a first-line weapon in 1901, the Swiss revolver remained in second-line and reserve service for many years and is still widely used as a target pistol. Limited supplies of ammunition are occasionally still produced in Swiss arsenals. Applications include swiss service revolvers.
