Case Dimensions

If you are building a rifle or you are a reloader it can be useful or even essential to know your case dimensions. The best place to get this information is from SAAMI who were set up to maintain standards in the Firearms industry.

They have case/chamber dimensions/drawings for most rifle, pistol and shotgun cartridges on their website and for even a few of the more popular wildcats. They also have some useful resources such as a table of unsafe chamber and cartridge combinations. This is not to say that other combinations that are not listed are safe.

Anyway, its well worth looking at their new (ish) website.
