I've no sources for any of this. The ancient rifle shooters I've asked have vaguely heard of the
Vetterli as a historical thing, but no-one has one. The deer shooters (I only know one UK deer shooter) wouldn't even think about it, as most of our deer are shot at long range on open moorland, with

What was .41 Swiss anyway (the centrefire version at least)? If this was centrefire, was it for the
Italian Vetterli (centrefire) rather than the original Swiss (rimfire) rifle? That's a slightly different cartridge, although close enough that still calling it ".41" is credible. Were these for
726:♠"is "Swiss" worth inclusion" If it's 10.4mm etc, there's an option to stop there, or go all the way to the official Swiss Army designation (which Barnes' 'graph on it does); that seems a bit overkill, but it's the official name, so... In that event, "Swiss" falls out by default.
729:♠"Is R for Rimmed or for Rimfire"? It's rimmed. There are dozens of rounds, all centerfire, with that suffix, currently for sale in Europe. It's to distinguish from semi-rimmed & rimless cases (which, AIUI, are really just names for the designs, not factually accurate).

If .41 Swiss is a different cartridge though, and only usable through
Italian centrefire Vetterlis, then it's a bad name for the original Swiss rifles. It wouldn't be the first time that a calibre name means the complete opposite of what it appears to.
773:♠"What shoots 1960s .41 Swiss centrefire?" No idea. I imagine there were rifles originally chambered for it after the CF version was introduced, so there may be original Swiss Army Vetterlis; some shooters may just like the ballistics, & have their

Is R for Rimmed or for
Rimfire though? Why label a cartridge as "rimmed"? Everything was, back then. Rimfire was somewhat unusual for rifles though, and this was a major difference between Swiss and Italian
193:
732:♠"What was .41 Swiss anyway"? My understanding is, it covers both the RF & CF variant, just as the 10.4x38mmR does; they'd be dabbed "(rimfire)" & "(centerfire)". The only difference is the name.
700:(or anything similar - is "Swiss" worth inclusion?) I think COMMONNAME here would still apply to its original name in Switzerland, it doesn't seem to have been popular enough in the US to over-ride this.

So if it's R for Rimmed, was that an original name, or a later suffix? My point is that it seems odd to label a cartridge as "rimmed" at a time when all cartridges were.
