Introduced in 1899 for the Winchester Model 1886 repeater,Barnes, p.116, ".50-110 WCF ". the .50-110 WCF was also available in single-shot weapons such as the Winchester 1885 Hi-Wall. Slight variations in charge weight in the same case led to the mistaken belief these were different rounds, when in fact they were not. Designed for black powder, the .50-110 was also available in a potent smokeless loading, comparable to British elephant rounds. In power, the standard load was comparable to the contemporary British .500 Black Powder Express.Barnes, pp. 34 and 230. It is sufficient for elk, deer, moose, and bear at medium ranges or in woods,Barnes, p.230 and thin-skinned African game, but not dangerous animals such as elephants. The high-velocity smokeless load was in a class with the .444 Marlin,Barnes, p.62. and its power exceeded the .348Barnes, p.52. and .358 Winchester.Barnes, p.54. Winchester continued to offer the cartridge commercially until 1935 and while it is still offered by some suppliers, due to its obsolescence and resultant obscurity, it is significantly more costly than more current cartridges — averaging from US$3 to $4 per round.July 2010 Also, more modern guns like the new Browning 1886, 71 Winchester, and the new 1886 Winchesters, made in Japan, are capable of much higher pressures and the 50–110 WCF can achieve up to 6,000 ftlb kJ of energy.September 2019 Dimensions thumb|center|300px See also List of rimmed cartridges List of cartridges by caliber List of rifle cartridges 13mm caliber .50-90 Sharps .50-140 Sharps .50-70 Government Notes 2 Sources Barnes, Frank C., ed. by John T.
