| Notes | This round is from a US study undertaken during the process of selecting the NATO-standard rifle cartridge in the early 1950s. It has a 7mm projectile (provided by the UK) in a necked-down FAT1E3 case. This may not officially be a 7mm Compromise (those were typically made by Belgium, Canada, and the UK) but it is listed as such since it appears to have identical dimensions. |
