6.45×48mm XPL Swiss

6.45x48mm XPL Swiss (or 6.45x48 GP 80) is an experimental intermediate rifle cartridge that was developed in conjunction with the SIG SG 550 rifle as a potential successor to the 7.5×55mm Schmidt Rubin cartridge. The rimless cartridge has a base diameter of 11.82 mm (similar to the 7.62×51mm NATO) and a case length of 47.72 mm. The bullet is an unusual 6.65 mm diameter (6.45mm refers to the bore diameter), fractionally smaller than the common 6.5 mm (bore diameter) bullet. The 6.3 g bullet was fired at a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s with 2,550 J of muzzle energy.

The cartridge was not adopted, the SIG SG-550 went into production with the 5.6×45mm GP 90 round.
