The 5.6×57mmR (designated as the 6,5 × 57 R by the C.I.P.)[1] cartridge was created by Rheinisch-Westfälische Sprengstoffwerke (RWS) in Germany for hunting small deer.[2]
The 5.6×57mm (designated as the 5,6 × 57 by the C.I.P.)[3] is a rimless variant of the 5.6×57mmR. The rimmed variant was designed for break-open rifles and is almost identical to the rimless variant except for the rim.[1]
