The 50-110 cartridge known as the 50-110 Winchester High velocity has a
total length of 2.75 inches and the brass case is 2 3/8 long.  It fired a
300gr. metal jacket soft point bullet and held 110 grs. of powder.
The cartridge was developed for use in the Model 1886 Winchester

shortly thereafter it was produced in the 50-110 caliber.   Various types
of bullets have been produced...lead, full jacket, soft point and hollow
