Hand-Loaded ammo is permitted if you have signed the NSCC WAIVER 2025 w/ HAND LOAD. All competitors must use full power ammunition as would be suitable for general operations. The spirit of this rule is more specifically applied with the use of the IPSC power factor.

For 40 and 45 caliber the power factor must be 170 or greater.
