cartridges
A cartridge or a round is a type of pre-assembled firearm ammunition packaging a projectile (bullet, shot or slug), a propellant substance (usually either smokeless powder or black powder) and an ignition device (primer) within a metallic, paper, or plastic case that is precisely made to fit within the barrel chamber of a breechloading gun, for the practical purpose of convenient transportation and handling during shooting. Although in popular usage the term "bullet" is often informally used to refer to a complete cartridge, it is correctly used only to refer to the projectile.
Cartridges can be categorized by the type of their primers – a small charge of an impact- or electric-sensitive chemical mixture that is located: at the center of the case head (centerfire); inside the rim (rimfire); inside the walls on the fold of the case base that is shaped like a cup (cupfire, now obsolete); in a sideways projection that is shaped like a pin (pinfire, now obsolete); or a lip (lipfire, now obsolete); or in a small nipple-like bulge at the case base (teat-fire, now obsolete). Only the centerfire and rimfire survived mainstream usage today.
Military and commercial producers continue to pursue the goal of caseless ammunition. Some artillery ammunition uses the same cartridge concept as found in small arms. In other cases, the artillery shell is separate from the propellant charge.
A cartridge without a projectile is called a blank; one that is completely inert (contains no active primer and no propellant) is called a dummy; one that failed to ignite and shoot off the projectile is called a dud; and one that ignited but failed to sufficiently push the projectile out of the barrel is called a squib.

Ron Spomer does a great job explaining cartridge changes from earliest (not paper cartridges or pinfire) to present day. Difficult to do without getting bogged down in too much detail but he pulls it off. Worth watching imo if interested in the subject.

Lowest price ever per price history. Good for those who hunt or shoot bolt action rifles. Silent closure for hunters.

My brother drew his once-in-a-lifetime wa state moose permit last year. Having been a bow hunter for decades, his hope was, of course, to take his bull with archery equipment. However, after applying for nearly a quarter century, he wasn't shy about using a modern firearm to fill his tag. He...
I'm pretty experienced with reloading necked rifle cartridges such as .30-06, 308WIN, 223REM, 6.5 Creedmoor and 30-30 having reloaded hundreds or thousands of each.

I have been sitting on six boxes of Remington .338 Win Mag 225 Grain Core-Lokt for a bit and decided to go a different direction with this rifle and rebarrel to 375 H&H for a hunting trip next fall. These boxes are selling for far too much money (best deal on ammoseek was $99 + shipping a box)...
Found gun I'm interested in but curious about ammo availability. Don't mind paying for hard to find cartridges but I don't reload so can't make my own. Let me know if you know, thx!
Noticed a few threads elsewhere about new calibers like 8.6 Blackout, .45 Raptor, .400 Legend and so on.... makes me wonder. Are we American gun owners spoiled for choice with the cornucopia of cartridges offered
