Sorry, a little off subject and long!

I am a little out of my league on this particular subject, but I think that the term "Modern Ammunition" was ment to mean any ammo that is commercially available. During the developement of the cartridge many one-of-a-kind cartiridges were developed for equally one-of-a-kind weapons. Many weapons made for war were especially made so that they could not be reloaded. I am thinking of one cartridge that had a special primer that could not be punched out. Off hand, I cannot remember what ammo it was.

Another good example is the 9mm developed by Georg Luger. He created this cartridge especially for the Luger. Nothing comparable was available at the time. The rest is history.
