The 11.3×36mmR (commonly referred to as "11mm Montenegrin") is a rimmed carbine and revolver cartridge developed by the Austria-Hungary. Originally designed for the Früwirth repeating carbine, it was also used in Gasser M1870 revolver. The caliber was widespread throughout the Balkans due to the Montenegrin Pattern Revolvers.
Although cartridge is no longer manufactured enthusiasts continue to handload using slightly modified 7.62x54R brass cut down to the length of the original and using various types of mostly cast bullets
