It was developed during the late 2010s as a high-powered, long-range cartridge for military snipers and the law enforcement sector.C.I.P. 2018-05-16 C.I.P. TDCC sheet 375 SWISS P https://bobp.cip-bobp.org/uploads/tdcc/tab-i/375-swiss-p-180302-en.pdf 2021-05-02 cip-bobp.org en The loaded cartridge is 14.93 mm on in diameter (rim) and 93.5 mm on long. It can penetrate better-than-standard military body armor and has a maximum supersonic range of about 1600 m yd -1 with C.I.P. conform FMJ factory ammunition at sea level conditions. Muzzle velocity is dependent on barrel length, seating depth, and powder charge, and varies from 860 to 870 m/s in on for commercial loads with 22.7 g gr on bullets, which corresponds to about 8500 J ftlbf on of muzzle energy. Hrachya H. 2021-04-01 New Military/LE Cartridge: .375 SWISS P https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2021/04/01/new-cartridge-375-swiss-p/ 2021-05-02 tfb.com en Background The .375 Swiss P is advertised by RUAG Ammotec as a cartridge that "fills the gap in ballistic performance between the .338 Lapua Magnum (8.6×70mm) and the .50 Browning Machine Gun (12.7×99mm)". Especially in regard to down-range kinetic energy, this performance gap is significant. As such it was designed to be relatively easily (re)chambered by just a rebarreling as a performance upgrade in sturdily built rifles originally designed around the .338 Lapua Magnum that also are encountered in .338 Norma Magnum and .300 Norma Magnum chamberings. The .375 Swiss P shares its bolt face, rim diameter and overall length and maximum operating pressure with the .338 Lapua Magnum chambering. It features a larger 15.73 mm on base diameter as found in the .500 Jeffery. This results in a (P1 - R1 = 0.80 mm on) rebated rim. Rebated rim cartridges have a rim that is significantly smaller in diameter than the base of the case, serving only for extraction. Functionally the same as a rimless case, a rebated rim allows a gun to be easily converted to fire a larger-than-normal case capacity cartridge, as most of a gun's action (loading/extraction mechanism) does not need to be altered as long as the rim size is preserved.Walker Robert E.
