The 7.65×25mm Borchardt cartridge was designed by Hugo Borchardt. It was the ammunition of the Borchardt C-93 pistol. This cartridge provided the basis for the 7.63×25mm Mauser cartridge, which has similar dimensions but a stronger powder charge. This cartridge was also the basis of the 7.65×21mm Parabellum, 7.62×25mm Tokarev, and 9×19mm Parabellum cartridges.
