Notice on Reloading/Hand Loading of Ammunition: The information contained in the SAAMI standards is intended for use by commercial ammunition and firearm manufacturers only. While the dimensional and performance characteristics apply equally to factory-manufactured and reloaded/hand loaded ammunition, SAAMI cannot provide any guidance on propellant selection, charge weights, primer selection or other hand loading/reloading-specific questions. For information on those topics, you should consult reloading manuals and information offered by propellant manufacturers and other reloading/hand loading specialists.
