Cartridge and chamber designs standardized by saami note Current cartridge & chamber drawing doc uments are contained within the saami standards They can be found here Information on how a cartridge becomes a saami standard can be found in our informational publications Newly accepted cartridge and chamber designs links to technical data and drawings for the newly saami accepted cartridge. Dimensional information for cartridges and firearm chambers, along with performance characteristics, is contained within the american national standards published by saami, listed below
As these standards are only periodically updated, drawings for cartridges and chambers introduced and standardized by saami or revised since the publication of the most recent standard can be found here The primary work of saami is done by its technical committee in the establishment of industry standards Product standards for firearms and ammunition are developed by two product standards task forces, one for ammunition and one for firearms Recommendations of the task forces are submitted for review by the entire technical committee About saami the sporting arms and ammunition manufacturers’ institute (saami) is an association of the nation’s leading manufacturers of firearms, ammunition, suppressors, and their components Saami was founded in 1926 at the request of the federal government and tasked with
