    Army Ammo specs

    I stumbled across this booklet.
    Army Ammo specs from 1994


    It has a fair number of cartridges.

    Figured I would share as a reference guide
    Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

    Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

    Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

    Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT
    (thanks to Jeff Cooper)

          A good resource for info BUT I highly recommend NOT using the Army Ammunitiion Data for powder charges. Your powder probably doesn't have the same burn rate. Plus some data for 5.56 and 50 BMG is dangerously high for a handloader using once or multiple fired cases. Compare Army data to modern reloading manuals and only use your reloading manual data. Surplus powder you can buy even though the same listed varies greatly from Army data. Thanks for posting and I already printed the Army data long ago and find it interesting and informative.
