A rimmed, brass case with slight bottleneck, Boxer primed. Introduced in 1873 with the Winchester 73 lever-action rifle and carbine. It was then adopted for a Colt revolver, after which almost every gunmaker produced either rifles or revolvers or both.

Every type of bullet, from spherical ball to FMJ and birdshot has been loaded into this cartridge at one time or another. Its ability to function as a personal defence cartridge in a revolver and a medium game cartridge in a rifle gave it universal acceptance in the western USA, but it has seen less acceptance in Europe other than in weapons intended for export to the USA. The cartridge has regained some of its original popularity in recent years for use in rifles, carbines and revolvers. Compatible platforms include suitably chambered revolvers and sporting rifles.
