I have both this book and the previous edition though it is a little outdated now with so many new cartridges available this book is still very handy as reference material for anyone into reloading or just likes to know more about the different cartridges out there.

The book is flawed here and there, and outdated. But such is the way of published things before internet... its still an invaluable tool for those obscure calibers noone make brass for, couple of good chapters/articles in the front of the book worth reading describing methods for creating brass from scratch if you can't form from other stuff.

A "must have" for dedicated reloaders and for those with weapons of hard to find calibers. Well written, detailed, easy to utalize information. This is a book that becomes more necessary every day. Survivalist and Preppers may want to check it out as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Testo interessante ma da migliorare nell'estetica e nella forma.
Reviewed in Italy on March 27, 2021
Verified Purchase
Testo sicuramente interessante e ben fatto ma si devono fare alcune considerazioni negative:
- qualità della carta di stampa molto bassa (va bene il prezzo ma qui si esagera)
- misure solo in unità americane (in alcuni casi le unità SI non guastano)

Per il resto la struttura del libro consiste di schede dimensionali dei bossoli e alcuni parametri comportamentali della cartuccia finita.
