Components of a modern bottleneck rifle cartridge. Top-to-bottom: Copper-jacketed bullet, smokeless powder granules, rimless brass case, Boxer primer.. 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 ...
Chambering such powerful super magnum cartridges in rifles intended for normal magnum rifle cartridges and using P max loads can cause serious or fatal injury to the shooter and bystanders. A rifle that theoretically could safely be chambered for the 94.5 mm long .300 Lapua Magnum is the bolt-action SAKO TRG-42. This rifle was designed for .338 ...

Rifle cartridges tend to be bottlenecked, with a wide base narrowing down to a smaller diameter, to hold a light, high-velocity bullet. These cases are designed to hold a large charge of low-density powder, for an even broader pressure curve than a magnum pistol cartridge.
