Handloading, or reloading, is the practice of making firearm cartridges by manually assembling the individual components (metallic/polymer case, primer, propellant and projectile), rather than purchasing mass-assembled, factory-loaded ...
Rounds are available from 68-to-300-grain (4.4 to 19.4 g) with a common load being the standard military loading of a 230-grain (15 g) FMJ bullet (for comparison, the most common 9mm load is 115 grains (7.5 g), half the weight).

Using a five-stage progressive reloading press makes this less of a chore.

Non-conforming batches were used to load commercial and military cartridges following traditional testing procedures.
