FAQs

1) What do you mean by “modern pistol ammunition?

A) We call a cartridge modern when it’s manufactured to contemporary pressure, dimensional, and safety standards (SAAMI/CIP or an equivalent internal spec), uses modern propellants and primers, and is intended for use in modern firearms or modernized examples of older designs. In practice that means loads running to current pressure-tested levels with consistent lot-to-lot quality control.

2) Can I use Steinel modern pistol loads in my older revolver/semi-auto?

A) Maybe – but never assume. Even cartridges that share a name can be loaded to different pressures. If your gun is an original-design vintage firearm, consult the manufacturer (if available), a qualified gunsmith, or send us photos/specs. When needed we offer lower-pressure or “cowboy” variants specifically for older guns.

3) Is Steinel’s ammo reloadable?

A) All of our modern pistol cartridges use high-quality brass cases that can be reloaded safely and properly. Always follow best practices and reloading manuals.
