The cartridge is unusual, being a small diameter jacketed bullet with a large volume straight sided rimless cartridge case with a cannelure approximately 16mm from the case neck. The cartridge has a piston fitted to the base of the bullet to aid velocity. The high volume cartridge case was developed to give high velocities with early inefficient smokeless propellants but with quick improvements smokeless powders rendering this design of cartridge case obsolete. This is a rare 5.2 mm (5.2x68) rimless round for the Model 1894 straight pull Montdragon Mexican service rifle made by S.I.G in Newhausen, Switzerland.

All of these types of weapon used a differential recoil and an enlarged chamber system similar to the PIAT and other weapons where the enlarged chamber which acts as a reservoir of propelling gases so to reduces peak chamber pressure. The rounds were developed for the EM 4 bullpup semi automatic rifle. The 7mm BTC was unusual in its design. The case was perforated and the weapon had an air space around the chamber that was supposed to reduce pressure so that a straight spring retarded blow back action could be used. The round ha a bullets had a very high length to calibre ratio and there were several bullet types all about 45mm long. The lead cored types weighed 200 grains and the steel cored about 167 grains. The cartridge cases were made in one piece and two piece designs, the two piece version screwing together.
