The 11 × 60 mm R (or 11.15 × 60 mm R Mauser ) cartridge is the first Prussian metal cartridge . It was developed for the M / 71 single rear-loading rifle by 1871 . It is not to be confused with the cartridge known as the 11 x 60 mm R Japanese Murata .
development
The 11 × 60 mm R cartridge was developed in the years 1868–71 to make up for the armament advantage that France had gained with the Chassepot rifle . As early as 1867, Prussia began to consider replacing the needle gun with a breech-loading weapon with center fire cartridges . Metal cartridges with center fire ignition were already common in the USA and the Bavarian Werder rifle also used this type of ammunition.
On November 7, 1871, the Prussian Rifle Commission set the caliber of the new rifle at 11 mm. The cartridge based on the cartridge of the Werder gun caliber 11 × 50 mm R . It is a rim cartridge with a brass bottle neck sleeve that was loaded with black powder and a soft lead bullet.
variants
M / 71
The bullet of the original M71 cartridge had a rounded tip.
M71 / 84
The bullet had a flattened tip to avoid misfiring in the tubular magazine of the M71 / 84 multi-loading rifle.
