Not a whole lot is known about the cartridge
compared to lots of other old military cartridges (like the Webley series). Old data shows a lot of variation and there is apparently a lot of variation from gun to gun. I used to have a Reichsrevolver, but never got around to shooting it. Wish I had at least slugged the bore and measured the chamber dimensions for posterity's sake. Sold it to a Belgian antique arms dealer at National Gun Day in Louisville a few years ago and bought something else.
