scope:
This standard covers methods of ballistic acceptance testing. Testing involves:
a. The determination of the recommended charge weight (RCW) of propellant required for filling the ammunition.
b. Ensuring that ammunition lot performance satisfies ballistic requirements.
c. Confirming that the RCW of propellant is loadable in the ammunition.
This standard implements QSTAG 560, Propellant Proof, in which the Armies of the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and the Canadian Forces have agreed to standardize ballistic acceptance tests for gun ammunitions (excluding 40mm and smaller).
The purpose of this standard is to provide a single publication as a Military Standard containing the requirements of ballistic acceptance tests and to implement QSTAG 560.
