It was introduced in 1936, and developed for the Winchester Model 71 lever action rifle. The .348 was one of the most powerful rimmed rounds ever used in a lever action rifle.Barnes, Frank C., ed. by John T. Amber. "Cartridges of the World".

Shooting Times Using Hornady's FTX flex tip pointed bullets, 300 yards with a good peep sight is a fairly easy shot (Factory-loaded, midrange trajectory at 200 yards is 2.9 in cm on for the 150 gr on bullet, 3.6 in cm on for the 200 gr g on round, and 4.4 in cm on for the 250 gr g on slug.) The 200 and 250 gr g on loadings are preferred for anything past 100 yards on. In 1962, Winchester dropped the factory 150 gr and 250 gr loads, retaining only the 200 gr. No other rifle was ever offered in .348 by Winchester (although Uberti has made some 400 rifles chambered for the .348 in the Cimarron 1885 Hi-Wall in the mid-2000s), and it has been supplanted by the .358 Winchester (in the Model 88). (The Model 71 was discontinued in 1958.) thumb|center|450px|The .348 Winchester cartridge. In 1987, Browning produced a modern version of the Model 71 in Japan.July 2012 These have different thread sizes in places, most notably the barrels, and many parts will not interchange with the originals. The Browning version was a limited production model only.July 2012 The case of the .348 was used to produce the 8-348w wildcat, used to rechamber World War I-era rifles such as Lebel or Berthier, instead of the original 8x50mmR, which at the time of such conversions were still considered war materiel in France and therefore strictly regulated.July 2012 The .348 is also the basis for the .348 Ackley Improved, The .348 Ackley improved has about a 200 fps advantage over the standard pushing the 200 grain FTX bullet at 2800 feet a second with some of the new hybrid powders. The .348 also served as the basis for the .50 Alaskan and .500 Linebaugh cartridges.Barnes, Frank C., ed. by W. Todd Woodard. "Cartridges of the World 14th Edition".
