11×60mm Mauser

The 11mm Mauser is a black-powder cartridge developed between 1867 and 1871 and used in the Mauser Model 1871 rifle, as well as the 71/84 variant. It was popular in German sporting rifles up until the early 20th century. It is no longer in production, however it is available from custom loaders and handloading can be done.
As early as 1867, the first considerations arose in Prussia to replace the needle rifle with a breech-loading weapon with centerfire cartridges.
On November 7, 1871, the Prussian Rifle Commission set the caliber of the new rifle at 11 mm. The cartridge is based on the Werder rifle cartridge, caliber 11 × 50 mm R.
In 1904, a German gunsmith from Suhl, August Schüler, developed a rimless version of the cartridge to be used in Gewehr 88 & Gewehr 98 actions.
