NOTE: These tables were calculated by computer using a standard modern scientific technique to predict trajectories and recoil energies from the best available data for each cartridge. The figures shown are expected to be reasonably accurate of ammunition behavior under standard conditions.
Time spent reviewing and adhering to cartridge dimensions will help ensure the ammunition doesn’t just function in few firearms but function in every firearm that adheres to the same specification. Cartridges generally fall into one of 4 categories listed below. SAAMI Recognized Cartridge – Ex. 308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm Remington Mag
NATO standard tracer cartridge equivalent to M856 and L110, with full luminosity trace up to 600 m from the muzzle, visible in both day and night. Suitable for 5.56 x 45 mm weapons with a 1:7 to 1:9 barrel twist.
This is a list of firearm cartridges which have bullets in the 8-to-9-millimetre (0.31 to 0.35 in) caliber range. Length refers to the empty cartridge case length; OAL refers to the overall length of the loaded cartridge; All measurements are in mm (in)
This is a table of selected pistol / submachine gun and rifle / machine gun cartridges by common name. Data values are the highest found for the cartridge, and might not occur in the same load (e.g. the highest muzzle energy might not be in the same load as the highest muzzle velocity, since the bullet weights can differ between loads).
The following bullet caliber size charts show a measurement in inches and millimeters of the most common rifle and handgun ammo cartridges. Details and specs for each bullet caliber include size, type, recoil primer and performance ballistics.
All data from a 24" Bbl, unless otherwise noted. Ballistics: Ammo Description
