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 ...
Redding Reloading, according to their catalog, offers custom made 3-die sets for the .400 Corbon. [23] Lubricating of the bottleneck case can be avoided when starting with .400 Corbon cases by using a carbide .45 ACP sizing die before using the .400 Corbon sizing die. Using a five-stage progressive reloading press makes this less of a chore.
Competitors in the late 1980s and early 1990s who were using the 9×25mm Dillon used the additional powder available over .38 Super to produce more gas in the compensator, or muzzle brake, to make pistols shoot with as little muzzle rise as possible to allow faster follow-up shots on target. A muzzle brake works by diverting gases ...
The .300 Whisper (7.82x34mm) is a CIP standard [1] cartridge in the Whisper family, a group of cartridges developed in the early 1990s by J.D. Jones of SSK Industries.It was developed as a multi-purpose cartridge, capable of utilizing relatively lightweight bullets at supersonic velocities as well as heavier bullets (200–250 grains) at subsonic velocities.
The .577 Snider cartridge was a British black powder metallic centrefire cartridge, which fired a 0.577-inch (14.7 mm), 480-grain (31 g) lead projectile, primarily used in the Snider–Enfield rifle. Early .577 Snider cartridges were made from a composite design using paper and brass foil with a stamped metallic base and primer, much like the ...
Generally, the supplier of the barrel or dies will also provide the buyer with basic reloading data, giving a variety of powders, charge weights, and bullet weights that can be used for developing loads. Handloaders use the data to develop a load by starting with minimum loads and carefully working up. [citation needed]
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 .
The .40 Super cartridge case was designed for a balance of strength and powder capacity. To maximize bullet pull and overall feeding characteristics, the case has a neck length of .175 in. The shoulder angle is an optimum 25 degrees. The neck yields more precise bullet alignment than can be achieved using a cartridge with a shorter neck.
