A fully powered cartridge, also called full-power cartridge or full-size cartridge, is an umbrella term describing any rifle cartridge with a caliber greater than 7.4 mm (0.29 in), a maximum effective range of at least 800 m (870 yd), and intended for engaging targets (large game animals) beyond 300 m (330 yd). The term generally refers to traditional cartridges used in machine guns and bolt action and semi-automatic service rifles and select fire battle rifles prior to, during, and immediately after the World Wars and the early Cold War era, and was a retronym originally made to differentiate from intermediate cartridges that gained widespread adoption into military service after World War II.

  • A fully powered cartridge, also called full-power cartridge or full-size cartridge, is an umbrella term describing any rifle cartridge with a caliber greater than 7.4 mm (0.29 in), a maximum effective range of at least 800 m (870 yd), and intended for engaging targets (large game animals) beyond 300 m (330 yd). The term generally refers to traditional cartridges used in machine guns and bolt action and semi-automatic service rifles and select fire battle rifles prior to, during, and immediately after the World Wars and the early Cold War era, and was a retronym originally made to differentiate from intermediate cartridges that gained widespread adoption into military service after World War II. Most modern fully powered cartridges have their origin in the late 19th century and early 20th century with the advent of smokeless powder. Examples include the 6.5×55mm Swedish, 7×57mm Mauser, 7.5×55mm Swiss, 7.5×54mm French, 7.62×51mm NATO, 7.62×54mmR, .30-06 Springfield, .303 British, 7.65×53mm Mauser, 7.7×58mm Arisaka, 7.92×57mm Mauser or 8mm Lebel cartridges. The US military's Next Generation Squad Weapon Program selected the 6.8×51mm Common Cartridge in 2022 for testing in a new carbine, new light machine guns and possibly in converted general-purpose machine guns. This does not guarantee actual widespread future issue of the brass-steel hybrid cased 6.8×51mm Common Cartridge. Despite the ubiquitous adoption of assault rifles and intermediate cartridges as the standard infantry weapon system, full-powered cartridges are still widely used today in battle rifles, designated marksman rifles (DMRs), sniper rifles, general purpose machine guns (GPMGs), and conventional hunting rifles.
