Lindcott Armory The connected firearms reference
571 Cartridges.240 Powders.37,024 Factory Loads.
One searchable system for firearms, ammunition, and ballistics — where every cartridge connects to its loads, suitable powders, and the rifles chambered for it.

Cartridges and powders — results labeled by type.
Sourced from SAAMI, CIP, manufacturer specifications, and the ATF FFL registry.
Core tools
Firearms tools, built on real data.

What makes it different
Wikipedia tells you what a cartridge is.
This connects what it does.
How it works
Connected answers, not dead-end articles.
A search for .308 shouldn't stop at a description. It should lead to loads, ballistics, powders, compatible rifles, reloading data, and prices. Every page here connects to the others.
That's the difference between a reference site and a reference tool.
The private side
Lindcott Armory Vault
The private app for your own firearms records — guns, ammo, optics, range sessions, and maintenance logs, kept separate from the public reference.
- Offline-first. Your data doesn't need a connection.
- No public collection display. No social feed around ownership.
- AI assistant with full vault context; maintenance alerts from round counts.
- Private by design. No ads, no data selling.
