The document outlines nitro cartridge handling steps such as using reputable manuals, confirming correct powder and primer types, verifying case and overall cartridge length with gauges, and exercising caution regarding suitability and firearm fit. A separate black powder section adds requirements like fully filling cases, case preparation, fit testing with initial inert rounds, and post-firing checks, supported by additional WRPC safety guidance and muzzle-velocity limits.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/","Healthcare",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/reloading-annex-to-cartridge-training-nitro-cartridge-reloading-protocol/640464/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/reloading-annex-to-cartridge-training-nitro-cartridge-reloading-protocol/640464.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"WPS_1790064749","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-09","2026-10-22",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":26},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"What does the MLAGB protocol require before starting home reloading?","Question",{"text":62,"@type":63},"The protocol requires following manufacturing guidance and using reputable reloading manuals first.

A reloading protocol has therefore been released by the MLAGB.  \nHome loaded ammunition cannot be sold but it is allowed to be supplied small quantities to a friend who must be authorised to hold the ammunition in that calibre.  \nPlease find the MLAGB protocol below which is followed by some WRPC generated advice to enhance safety and provide additional knowledge. It is strongly recommended that any shooter taking up home reloading seek the advice of an experienced home reloader before investing any time or money in reloading hardware.  \nMLAGB Hand reloading Protocol Nitro Cartridge  \n1) Always use a reputable re-loading manual such as the Modern Reloading Manual by Richard Lee or Lyman’s Reloading Handbook to name just two. You should read the manual before attempting to reload for the first time.  \n2) Ensure powder used is the correct type for that cartridge.  \n3) Ensure powder and bullet type/weight is correct for powder charge being used.  \n4) Check case length is correct, if not use an appropriate method to rectify this.  \n5) Check overall cartridge length is within parameters supplied in loading manual and the cartridge loads easily into the breech, and the bolt etc closes easily.  \n6) Re 4 + 5 use a good quality vernier gauge to verify measurements.  \n7) Use only the correct primer type as designated in loading manual.  \n8) It is legal to give small quantities of reloads to friends but whilst their firearm may be the same calibre, thereloaded cartridge may not be suitable and in some cases won’t fit your firearm. So, proceed with caution.  \n9) Again, whilst it is legal to accept small quantities of reloads given to you, they may be totally unsuitable for your firearm. So again, proceed with caution.  \n10) 10) NB hand reloaded cartridges cannot be sold  \nReloading Protocol Black Powder Cartridge  \n1) It is absolutely essential to have the case filled completely, either with powder or a powder and filler combination, failure to do this can cause catastrophic problems within the rifle.  \n2) Reloading manuals are not easy to find, 2 that are useful are “Shooting Buffalo Rifles of the Old West” by Mike Venturino, this gives a lot of information on various calibre BP rifles, including powder types and chronographed results. The second is “Reloading Primer” by Mike Venturino and Steve Garbe, however it is important to remember they refer to specific rifles they are using, so remember to research your own rifle.  \n3) With some makes of cases, there may be a need to anneal the cases before use, and after a number offirings.  \n4) Either paper patched or cannelure bullets can be used, it is the shooters choice.  \n5) As above, it is essential to check the overall case length and the overall cartridge length.  \n6) On initial loading the first 5 cartridges, the shooter should try these in the rifle to ensure they are the correct fit, and the action will close smoothly.  \n7) After firing, always check there is a hole in the target, if there is not, check the bore to ensure the bullet has exited the barrel.  \n8) Always carry a suitable ramrod to ensure a stuck case can be removed or a “lodged” bullet.  \nADDITIONAL ADVICE BY WRPC  \n• The Lee and Lyman reloading manuals provide much useful information on reloading procedure but the information on powders mostly relates to powders of North American manufacture which following BREXIT and regional wars are very difficult to obtain. Reliable loading information can be obtained from European powder manufacturer websites such as Vihtavuori and Reloader Swiss. These loads have been professionally tested and relate to specified bullet weights.  \nDo not experiment with loads from forum style websites where loads may not have been tested and could be dangerous.
