We sometimes get notified that cartridges with an overall length (O.A.L. or C.O.L. or L6) as specified on our pages do not fit into a particular magazine or gun. Please be aware of the following:
Two institutions define cartridge specifications – the C.I.P. and SAAMI (see more here). They also define the maximum overall length of a cartridge in their technical data sheets.
We respect these specifications and calculate our loads with an overall cartridge length that is always 1.5% lower than the maximum allowed length. Please contact the gun manufacturer if, based on these specifications, a cartridge does not fit into a chamber or magazine. In this case, the gun specifications are below the defined cartridge standards.
You can deviate from our load data in such a rare case, but please respect the following instructions.
