Speer Reloading Manual #14 max. case length: 0.850"; trim-to length: 0.840"; max cart. OAL: 1.135"; RCBS shell holder: #27; cart. case: Speer; primer: CCI 500; test firearm: Smith & Wesson M4006; barrel length: 4"; IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: These loads were developed and tested for safe use in HANDGUNS. Not all loads may be suitable for use in a carbine or rifle chambered for this cartridge. If loading for a carbine or rifle, choose from among the loads developing the highest handgun velocities and load just a few rounds. Thoroughly test this small sample in your firearm in slow-fire mode, insuring that you achieve proper feeding and ejection. Be certain that all bullets exit the barrel; watching the target for each bullet strike is the best way to know that the load produces sufficient gas volume for a longer barrel. Use maximum loads with CAUTION.

If this condition exists, normal pressure loads such as those shown here can cause the case wall to bulge or rupture at the unsupported point. Contact your firearm manufacturer to determine if your pistol completely supports the case head, or ask a gunsmith to inspect your pistol before using it with ANY ammunition. It is the gun owner's responsibility to know his firearm and its capabilities and limitations.

Not all loads may be suitable for use in a carbine or rifle chambered for this cartridge. If loading for a carbine or rifle, choose from among the loads developing the highest handgun velocities and load just a few rounds. Thoroughly test this small sample in your firearm in slow-fire mode, insuring that you achieve proper feeding and ejection. Be certain that all bullets exit the barrel; watching the target for each bullet strike is the best way to know that the load produces sufficient gas volume for a longer barrel. NOTE: Do not use the 230-GR TMJ RN loads with Gold Dot HP; maximum loads should be used with CAUTION

The following accuracy classification system was used in these tests: A+ = 1-inch or less at 20 yards; A = 1 1/16 - 1 1/2 inches; B = 1 9/16 - 2 inches; C = 2 1/16 - 2 1/2 inches; D = Over 2 1/2 inches.
