What The Experts are Saying
“…each section is thorough, with charts, drawings and photographs used to illustrate key points, which are particularly helpful for explaining such concepts as pressure, headspace, and the evolution of the metallic cartridge … Perhaps the real gems of the guide are the reprinted articles from Gun Digest, spanning from 1947-1980, featuring noted authors such as Col. Townsend Whelen.” – American Rifleman
