The 7×33mm Sako cartridge was created in Finland in 1942 as a small game cartridge for animals such as the Capercaillie and Black Grouse. It is based on a 9×19mm Parabellum case that has been lengthened and necked down to accept a 7.21 mm (0.284 in) bullet. The cartridge overall length is 44.30 mm (1.744 in), with a case length of 33.30 mm (1.311 in) and a base diameter of 10 mm (0.39 in). The bottleneck bends at 26.50 mm (1.043 in) and straightens at 29.12 mm (1.146 in). The Bertram company of Australia makes brass for it. Sako offers two loadings: a 78 gr (5.1 g) FMJ, and a 78 gr soft nose.
