Disclaimer
All of this reloading information has been provided by Explosia a.s. The data given here were obtained in the laboratory condition following strictly the CIP (Commission International Permanente) rules of June 13, 1990 and November 9, 1993. The listed maximum loads have been determined according to the respective CIP maximum pressure specification, whichever is lower.
The test methods have been deemed to be safe throughout the world. Pressure is measured at the case mouth or from inside the case according to the CIP.
DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY EXTRAPOLATIONS. PLEASE FOLLOW THE DATA AS WRITTEN. IT IS A MUST FOR EVERY RELOADER TO READ THE RELOADING SAFETY RULES ON THE PAGE 11 AND 12 OF THIS GUIDE.
Internal ballistic computation of different weapon/ammunition/powder combinations can be performed with the software QUICKLOAD (author Hartmut Broemel, Babenhausen, Germany).
!!! Caution !!!
READ BEFORE USING
We would like to draw the attention of our users to the fact that without our approved authorisation the Proper Cartridges company (United Kingdom) offers Lovex smokeless powders for reloading purposes in inappropriate containers. Explosia a.s. disclaims such business practices and any guarantee of the powder quality distributed in such a way. Furthermore, Explosia a.s. disclaims any responsibility arising from malpractice with such powder causing any damage to health.
Reloading of cartridges should be performed only by experienced people. The strictest safety measures should be implemented as those to be kept for handling other kinds of explosives. You are supposed to be experienced in powder reloading. There is a wide range of useful books about this topic.
Having left our company, the powder is not under our control, so we have no control over whether it is stored, handled, reloaded and used appropriately, or over the conditions of the firearm and its components themselves. Therefore, we do not provide any warranty regarding trading or its suitability for a specific use. All our data for reloading are valid only for use in modern firearms.
How to choose the charge: For all pistol and gun powders, reload and fire a few bullets with a 10% lower (initial) charge than mentioned and check for any signs of excessive pressure (more difficult removing of the cartridge, flattened or blown-out small-arms primers, extreme recoil).
ALWAYS START WITH THE INITIAL MINIMAL RECOMMENDED CHARGE AND NEVER EXCEED THE CHARGE MENTIONED IN THIS HANDBOOK
WARNING
Smokeless propellant powders are highly flammable and dangerous. Keep away from heat and open flame, store in a cool and dry place and keep the powders out of reach of children.
DISCLAIMER
The ballistic data presented in the tables were compiled under controlled conditions using specific weapons and components. Performance achieved under different conditions may therefore not be the same. For this reason and to ensure safe operation, it is recommended to commence loading at the recommended start load and approach maximum loads with caution. Gridlock Arms and Outdoor (PTY) Ltd do not accept any liability, either expressed or implied, for damage or injury arising from or alleged to have arisen from the use of this information.
