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).

By comparison, the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge, used in the M16 and M4 rifles, produces between 1,200–1,300 foot-pounds force (1,600–1,800 joules), while the .308 Winchester, a favorite for hunters, police, and military snipers, produces between 2,000–3,000 foot-pounds force (2,700–4,100 joules) depending on the load used.
The .280 Remington is capable of generating slightly higher velocities in heavier bullet weights (150 grains and above) than the .270 Winchester due to a marginally greater case capacity. However, the ballistic coefficient of equal-weight bullets favors 6.8mm (.277) caliber bullets over 7mm (.284) bullets of similar design.
Modern comparisons to the .44 Henry rifle's ballistics would include such large-bore handgun cartridges as the 200 gr .45 ACP, and 200 gr .44 Special. Due to the vast advances in propellant and metallurgy technology, these latter can nearly achieve the Henry Rifle's velocity from a handgun, and do not even require the long barrel of a rifle to ...
Lists of gun cartridges contain articles about gun cartridges of different types. Cartridges can be classified by type of firearm, by caliber or by type of primer (e.g. centerfire, rimfire). See Category:Cartridge families for more information on different categories of cartridges. The lists include:
The case design of the .350 Magnum allowed for its use in compact, fast-handling rifles. [3] Though the Remington 600 and 660 chambered for the cartridge offered an excellent power-to-weight ratio, the combination failed to attain commercial success. [4] Maximum pressure for the .350 Magnum is set at 53,000 CUP by SAAMI.
