The ammunition used by the Schmidt-Rubin Model 1889 rifle was one of the first to use 7.5 mm copper jacketed rounds similar to those used today. The 7.5x53.5mm round designed by Colonel Rubin was revolutionary in that most of the bullets used in Europe at the time were around 12.7 mm as opposed to 7.5 mm of the Schmidt-Rubin ammunition. Strangley enough the round was "paper patched" meaning the actual bullet was surrounded by a piece of paper, much like cotton patches were placed around the bullet of a musket. Paper patching the round was supposed to aid in the gas seal of the bullet.
