It is not intended to provide comprehensive instruction on handloading techniques, nor is it intended to replace or be a substitute for handloading manuals or handloading training courses, such as the one offered by the NRA.  \nTerms & Definitions  \nFor the purposes of this CoP, the following terms and definitions apply:  \nHandloading or Reloading  \nThe processes of manually preparing and assembling components to produce firearms cartridge ammunition for personal use; not for resale  \nFactory Ammunition  \nCommercially produced ammunition, which is subject to C. I. P.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES  \n1.1. Handloading requires a technical knowledge of firearms and ballistics sufficient to be able to select appropriate components (case, primer, powder, bullet) and assemble them in a reproducible manner to make cartridges that are both safe to fire in a designated firearm and fall within the particular safety requirements for the ranges on which the cartridges will be fired. Before attempting to handload any ammunition, ask the advice of experienced handloaders or attend a recognised handloading course  \n1.2. You must be prepared to accept responsibility for ammunition that you have created. Badly made ammunition can be lethal so do not attempt to make it until you are confident that you have taken all the relevant steps to ensure that your ammunition is safe to use  \n1.3. Only shoot ammunition that you know is safe and for which you know and understand the ballistic performance  \n1.4. Only make ammunition using known components using a recipe from known and reliable sources. Do not use information gleaned from chat rooms and open-source media. Your best source for reloading information is from Propellent manufacturer’s websites or published loading manuals. Study their guidance on handling, storing and working with primers, powders and other ammunition components, and learn how to handload safely. You should not rely on old reloading manuals as propellent formula sometimes change  \n1.5. If you cannot find the exact load data in the manual for the combination of components you intend to use, obtain a manual that does have the data, or change components to those for which you do have data. Alternatively, contact powder manufacturers to obtain the specific data you require in written form (e-mail, fax or letter) . Never shoot handloaded ammunition unless you have reliable data confirming your load is safe  \nNOTE: it may be beneficial for future reference to batch test handloaded ammunition over achronograph on a suitable range (i.e. one with higher muzzle velocity/muzzle energy limits) to ensure the ammunition is safe fo","cbCaivK8j6cUSq0a","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivK8j6cUSq0a","pdf",341948,"English","# Introduction\n# Scope\n# Terms & Definitions\n# 1.
