chambered for this round were the Vetterli series of rifles. This type of round was also used in the 1867 Peabody.
Adopted in 1869 along with the Vetterli turn-bolt rifle, it was discontinued, along with the rifle, in 1889. With a bullet, it is adequate for deer, and only at short range.
The original round's case was made from copper which held a round nosed lead bullet. In 1871 and 1878, the paper patch was improved, but ballistic performance was only marginally improved.
The round continued to be commercially available in the U.S. until sometime after 1946 with bullets loaded by Winchester (K4154R) and lead bullets loaded by Remington (R326).
