Pistol and Handgun Reloading Data

Whether you want to reload your own ammo for competitive or recreational purposes, we have a vast selection of reloading data to find that perfect pistol load. Handgun calibers range from 7 MM TCU to the .500 S&W Magnum. We also have loads for all kinds of handgun bullets, from FMJ and XTP to Spitzer Boat Tails and wadcutters. Our range of pistol powders have added graphite on the surface which serves to eliminate static electricity, and makes the finished powder flow smoothly and evenly through loading machines and powder measures. We provide our handgun reloading data in metric and imperial dimension systems, i.e. charge weight in grams and grains as well as muzzle velocity in meters and feet per second. All the loads on these pages are pressure tested according to the C.I.P. method. The listed maximum loads should never be exceeded.

We wish you successful reloading with Vihtavuori premium handgun powders!
