The category of '''handloading items''' regroups every type of item that is useful for ~~'''~~[[handloading~~'''~~]].

There are six types of handloading items: '''Kits''', '''primers''', '''cases and hulls''', '''wads''', '''powders''', and '''projectiles'''.

~~All [[Ammunition#Firearm calibers|firearm caliber ammunition]] can be handloaded, with three exceptions:~~

* [[.22 Long Rifle]]: Cannot be handloaded, but is nominally loaded with a small quantity of Pistol powder. You may disassemble rounds of .22 LR ammunition to harvest Pistol powder - exact quantity and quality depends on the type of .22 LR ammunition disassembled. Doing so, however, will not produce any usable casings, primers, or projectiles.

* [[4.2x30mm R Golden Gun]]: Cannot be handloaded or disassembled. Such ammunition uses completely custom-designed, proprietary casings, primers, powders and projectiles which cannot be found for sale anywhere. The only way to acquire ammunition in this caliber is to find it in the UA.

* [[4.73x33mm Caseless]]: Cannot be handloaded or disassembled. Due to the caseless nature of the cartridge, there is no traditional case or powder; they are essentially blocks of solid propellant that is completely disintegrated upon firing, propelling the bullet it contains forwards. This bullet is also completely proprietary, and cannot be used to load ammunition in other calibers.

= Kits =

'''Handloading kits''' are portable kits containing equipment necessary for handloading and disassembling rounds of firearm ammunition. They must not be confused with [[toolkit|toolkits]].

There are 3 different typesof handloading kits. Each kit type corresponds to [[ammunition]] categories ('''~~Pistol ammo handloading kit~~(P)'''istol, '''~~Rifle ammo handloading kit~~(R)''' ifle and '''~~Shotgun ammo handloading kit~~(S)'''~~. Each kit type corresponds to [[ammunition]] categories~~hotgun), and allows a character to handload and disassemble all ammunition of the corresponding category. It is important to note that they are ''not'' consumable items and that they are always available as long as they're in the inventory. As such, if all three are carried, nearly all types of firearm ammunition can be handloaded and disassembled(with a few listed exceptions).

= Cases and hulls =

A '''hull''' is the shotgun shell equivalent of a case, but is otherwise identical in function.

Cases and hulls may be found in one of two states: '''Unprimed/Spent''' and '''Primed'''. The term "spent case" specifically refers to the case that remains after a round has been fired, but otherwise, they are considered identical to unprimed (as in, brand new, never loaded) cases, in that they do not have a live primer inserted. A '''primed case''' is a case with a fresh primer inserted, ready for the next steps of handloading. Unprimed cases can be found for sale at gun shops and weapon shops, in boxes of 50. Primed cases can never be found or purchased; they have to be made, as part of the process of handloading. The Weight of a case (primed or unprimed) is the same as that of a complete round of ammunition. E.g. a [[.45 ACP]] case will have a Weight of 0.02.

= Projectiles =

'''Projectiles''' are what leave the barrel of a firearm~~, intended to inflict damage to targets~~when a round is fired. This general term ~~covers what~~ is ~~correctly referred~~ used to as cover '''bullets''' (~~the projectiles of~~ pistol and rifle ~~cartridges~~projectiles), and '''shotgun projectiles''': '''Shot''' (groups of round pellets), '''Slugs''' (large singular projectiles) and '''Exotic''' (everything else).

The exact cost of a box of projectiles depends as much on its dimensions as its type; all can be found for sale at gun shops and weapon shops.

== Bullets ==

'''Bullets''' follow a basic nomenclature of '''bullet dimensions, ''' and '''type'''~~, and just~~ . Just like complete rounds of ammunition, may be '''categorized''' as either '''(P)'''istol bullets or '''(R)'''ifle bullets. Dimensions include the bullet's diameter and mass in grains, whereas type refers to the [[Ammunition#Pistol and rifle caliber projectiles|ammo type]].

Bullet dimensions determine which cases (and in turn which caliber) they are compatible with, whereas type will simply influence the ammo type of the completed round of ammunition.

* Example: '''.308, 150 grain, JSP''' - The dimensions of this bullet are '''.308, 150 grain''', making it compatible with [[7.62x51mm NATO]] or [[.30-06 Springfield]]. '''JSP''' means this is a '''jacketed soft point''' bullet, and will create a round of JSP ammunition when loaded.

The category of a bullet (~~whether it is a~~ '''(P)'''istol ~~bullet~~ or '''(R)'''ifle ~~bullet~~) determines what bullet types may be available. For instance, '''(P)'''istol bullets have exclusive access to '''LSWC and LSWCHP''' whereas '''(R)'''ifle bullets have exclusive access to '''HPX, APX and API'''.

Certain combinations of projectile dimensions and bullet types are only available as handloading ingredients and cannot be found for sale in factory-loaded, retail ammunition. As such, careful selection of caliber, projectile, and powder quality may allow a discerning handloader to create unique, fully custom ammunition.

All bullets have an individual Weight of 0.01 and all are sold in boxes of 50. Thus, a full box of bullets has a Weight of 0.5). The table below will list the cost of a box of '''FMJ''' projectiles. For other types of bullets, refer to '''[[Ammunition#Pistol and rifle caliber projectiles|this table]]''' and apply the corresponding value multiplier to the box's shop value, rounding to the nearest [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''0.05'''.

Nomenclature may vary a little bit more, as these projectiles are more diverse in sizes and shapes, but all describe their dimensions and types.

~~All shot projectiles have an individual Weight of 0.01, and are sold in bags of 100 (for a total Weight of 1).~~

~~Slugs have varying individual Weights; 0.01 for .410 bore slugs, 0.02 for 20 gauge and 12 gauge. All are sold in boxes of 25 (thus have a Weight of either 0.25 or 0.50 depending on dimensions).~~

~~For Exotic projectiles, see the [[Handloading items#Exotic|relevant section]].~~

=== Shot ===

All shot projectiles have an individual Weight of 0.01, and are sold in bags of 100 (for a total Weight of 1).

* To create '''Dragon's buckshot''', use the same ingredients as standard, bare lead buckshot, but use the specified, reduced number of pellets and add 1 '''[[crafting items|Magnesium explosive (MgX) charge]]''' per shell.

** E.g., to make a single, standard pressure 12 gauge D-Buck shell, you need a SS primer, a 12 gauge hull, a wad, 515 pwdr of Pistol powder, 7 pellets of 00 buckshot, and 1 MgX charge.

=== Slugs ===

Slugs have varying individual Weights; 0.01 for .410 bore slugs, 0.02 for 20 gauge and 12 gauge.

All slugs are sold in boxes of 25 (thus have a Weight of either 0.25 or 0.50 depending on dimensions).
