These tables provide 7 different chapters of "nose to nose" comparisons for every rifle cartridge, and 6 comparative chapters for handgun cartridges, while the third section provides 14 discussion sections detailing proper cartridge and bullet selection based on the game animal, bullet construction, desired wound-channel, shooting distance, hunting environment, and much more. Finally, the fourth section provides quick reference ballistic charts which detail trajectory, velocity and energy out to 500 yards for bullet weights of 20 to 750 grains).
See what others are saying about this great guide: "If you like arguing over ballistics, you need Andrew Chamberlains Cartridge Comparison Guide! It is a great item, well written and contains sound advice on cartridge selection, bullet performance, recoil, projectile behavior in flight and a whole lot more. The real meat is in the data tables. You'll be back and forth comparing the numbers (data) and you'll learn a lot along the way. My hat is off to Andrew Chamberlain (and the Cartridge Comparison Guide)." ~ Craig Boddington, for GUNS & AMMO
