Data, facts & information

Rifle cartridges are those cartridges that can be fired from rifles (long guns with rifled barrels). The projectiles are often referred to as "bullets." A single shot precisely fires a projectile - in contrast to shotgun cartridges, which are fired from smoothbore barrels and scatter many small pellets.

Cases of rifle cartridges often have a bottle shape, as this allows for an increase in the powder chamber without making the length-to-diameter ratio of the case too large. If the cases are stretched too long, there is a risk that the charge will not ignite completely during firing, and unburned powder will exit the barrel, which would reduce performance. The cases of cartridges for heavier hunting calibers, such as .30-06 Springfield or 8 x 57 IS, are cylindrical or slightly conical.

As mentioned above, when firing such a cartridge, a single projectile is precisely aimed at the target. While shot is only used for small and light targets (in Germany, small game excluding roe deer) and typically has a maximum effective range of 30-50m, skilled shooters can cleanly take down game with a rifle projectile at distances of up to 350m.

The cost of rifle cartridges varies significantly depending on caliber, load, and bullet type. Generally, cartridges are sold in packs of 20. Common rifle cartridges typically cost between 50-100€ for a pack of 20.

Rifle cartridges can be purchased by anyone who has a valid acquisition permit (hunting license for hunters, firearms ownership license for sport shooters).

Rifle cartridges can be purchased either from the gunsmith or firearms dealer of your choice. Many hunters also buy their ammunition at their local Frankonia branch. However, ammunition of all kinds can also be purchased online. On Gunfinder.de, you can quickly find the right ammunition for your rifle thanks to intelligent filters and great offers.
