This is a table of selected pistol/submachine gun and rifle/machine gun cartridges by common name. Data values are the highest found for the cartridge, and might not occur in the same load (e.g. the highest muzzle energy might not be in the same load as the highest muzzle velocity, since the bullet weights can differ between loads).
Measurements of standard 7.5 cartridges loaded with 95 gr (6.2 g) bullets showed a muzzle velocity of 2,000 ft/s (610 m/s) out of a 5.3 in (13.46 cm) barrel equal to 4 in (10.16 cm) of free bore and a muzzle energy of 845 foot-pounds force (1,146 J), [4] which is almost 50% higher than the 357 magnum 125 grain JHP when using premium quality ...
A Smith & Wesson Model 66 revolver, displayed with two speedloaders. A speedloader is a device used to reduce the time and effort needed to reload a firearm. Speedloaders come in a variety of forms for reloading revolvers, or the magazines used with other types of firearms such as rifles and shotguns.

While a few gun writers in the 1960s criticized the .351 SL for being inadequate as a deer hunting round, and the round's power has sometimes been compared to a .357 Magnum carbine load, the .351 SL's killing power falls somewhere between the .30-30 Winchester and the .35 Remington. Townsend Whelen praised it as a "good cartridge for deer and ...
A speed load is quite similar to a regular reload of a weapon, but when well performed can afford a large speed advantage. With closed bolt weapons, the speed advantage is lost if they do not have a round in the chamber, as the gun will then require cocking with the new magazine inserted to chamber the first round.
The .460 Weatherby Magnum has a case head diameter (0.580"/ 14,73mm) unique to the large Weatherby belted magnum cases. Few other cartridges use this case head size (or something close, like the .416 Rigby). This tends to mean that rifles capable of being converted are somewhat less available or are based on expensive custom actions.
