Table of handgun and rifle cartridges

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).

Common rifle cartridges, from the largest .50 BMG to the smallest .22 Long Rifle with a $1 United States dollar bill in the background as a reference point.

Legend

• Factory loadings. Number of manufacturers producing complete cartridges - e.g. Norma, RWS, Hornady, Winchester, Federal, Remington, Sellier & Bellot, Prvi Partizan. May be none for obsolete and wildcat cartridges.
• H/R: Handgun (H) or rifle (R) - dominant usage of the cartridge (although several dual-purpose cartridges exist)
• Size: Metric size - may not be official
• MV: Muzzle velocity, in feet-per-second
• ME: Muzzle energy, in foot-pounds
• P: Momentum, in pound (force) (lbf) times seconds.^[1] A guide to the recoil from the cartridge, and an indicator of bullet penetration potential. The .30-06 Springfield (at 2.064 lbf-s) is considered the upper limit for tolerable recoil for inexperienced rifle shooters.^[2]
• Chg: Propellant charge, in grains
• Dia: Bullet diameter, in inches
• BC: Ballistic coefficient, G1 model
• L: Case length (mm)
