Reloading Reference Guide Reloading your own ammunition is a fun hobby that saves you money. Handloading your own ammunition makes shooting more cost-effective and allows you to shoot more for less. However, finding the right diameters, lengths and materials for calibers can be a time-consuming process. That is why we compiled this reloading reference guide to help you quickly find the information you need. NOTE: This is intended to be a reference guide to use while reloading instead of a typical article. To quickly find the caliber you’re searching for, press CTRL+F. When the window or box opens, just type your caliber and hit the search button.

Following are detailed instructions regarding the proper use and employment of your RX rangefinder . To ensure top performance for the life of the product, please read these instructions before operating your RX-1300i TBR . Your new Leupold RX rangefinder incorporates advanced digital electronics with state-of-the-art ballistics algorithms . The Digitally eNhanced AccuracyTM (DNA®) engine incorporates additional signal processing techniques to generate better ranging distance with more accurate rangefinding . RX-1300i TBR features include Leupold’s exclusive Trophy Scale, multiple reticle options, and yards/meters . Additionally, the truly innovative and unique feature is True Ballistic Range® (TBR) . TBR algorithms were developed by the same engineers who developed Sierra Infinity® Exterior Ballistics Software and who helped develop navigation and guidance systems for ICBMs and other missiles with far more demanding trajectory requirements than a hunting bullet . TBR is a marriage of laser ranging, an inclinometer, and an advanced computerized ballistics program . The result is distance measurements accurate within a yard, no matter the angle at which the laser is fired . Bullets and arrows travel in a ballistic arc, yet conventional rangefinders only provide a linear distance to your target or a trig “shoot to” distance which fails on longer shots or steeper angles .

    Safari Rifles II The author with his Botswana elephant, taken in April 2008. Safari Rifles II Doubles, Magazine Rifles, and Cartridges for African Hunting by Craig T. Boddington Safari Press CAUTION! Common sense needs to be used when handling and discharging a firearm. Keep the following principles of safety in mind so as to provide a safe environment for everyone: 1) Always point a firearm in a safe direction. 2) Never point a firearm at another person. 3) Treat all firearms as though they are loaded. 4) Wear eye and hearing protection at all times when handling firearms. Do not attempt to handload your own ammunition using the bullet velocities and or loads listed on these pages. Your firearm may not be able to withstand the pressures generated by the loads and velocities listed in this book. If you aren’t sure about your gun, consult a competent gunsmith. The handloading of ammunition and the discharging of a firearm should never be attempted without the supervision of an adult experienced in both handloading and firearms. Do not attempt to handload ammunition without knowing how to read signs of (excessive) pressure in both guns and ammunition. SAFARI RIFLES II © 2009 by Craig T. Boddington.

  • Unsafe Firearm-Ammunition Combinations

    Unsafe Firearm-Ammunition Combinations

    TECHNICAL DATA SHEET UNSAFE FIREARM-AMMUNITION COMBINATIONS The discharge of ammunition in a firearm that is not designed to shoot that ammunition can be dangerous and can result in serious injury or death to the user and/or bystanders, as well as damage to the firearm. This unsafe condition is caused by an excessive build-up and/or release of high-pressure gas in a firearm's chamber, barrel and/or action beyond which the firearm is designed to withstand. Therefore, in the interest of safety, you should use only ammunition of the caliber or gauge designated by the firearm manufacturer for use in that firearm. Markings indicating the correct caliber or gauge of ammunition to be used in a firearm are usually found on the firearm’s barrel, frame or receiver. One way to verify that you are using the correct ammunition is to check the head stamp on the ammunition to confirm that it matches the caliber or gauge markings placed on the firearm by the firearm’s manufacturer. Some types of ammunition do not have markings on the head stamp of the cartridge. In that case, check the original ammunition packaging to determine its caliber. If you have any doubt about the caliber of the ammunition, you should not use the ammunition until you have it examined by a qualified person who can determine its caliber. Remember just because a round of ammunition can fit into a firearm's chamber, barrel or action does not mean it is safe to use that ammunition in the firearm. Due to the availability of many different shapes and sizes of ammunition and firearms, there are countless unsafe ammunition-firearm combinations such that a comprehensive list of unsafe combinations is neither feasible, nor practicable.
