About the International Ammunition Association

    The IAA was founded over 50 years ago to serve cartridge collectors and professionals in the areas of ammunition research and forensics.   Click here for a history of Ammunition Collecting Groups.

    IAA membership includes a subscription to The International Ammunition Journal, a bimonthly magazine wherein you will find:  

• Industry News- reports on the ammunition industry, new products and announcements.
• Company Histories- a historical look at some of the more obscure ammunition manufacturers.
• Questions and Answers- where readers pose their queries to the staff and membership.
• Featured articles- on a broad spectrum of cartridges and cartridge history, frequently the result of previously unpublished research by IAA members.
• Schedules- for cartridge shows and the meetings of cartridge associations.
• And more- book reviews, summary of other cartridge association publications, announcements, and information from the leading experts in the field.

The Journal is 60 pages in length with color cover and a color insert in each issue and typically includes 10 or more featured articles, essentially all with photos and illustrations. Lots of material on new cartridges and previously unknown old cartridges, headstamp information, box labels and information available nowhere else.

The International Ammunition Journal is essential reading for any serious student of ammunition, whether researcher or collector!!!
