Sure, I like sorting it all out for myself as much as the next guy and I don’t like to have my creativity stifled by being forced to put each and every part into an exact mandated location. Still, a dozen or so partial or excessively complete firearms under my […]

I was relatively critical when I wrote my review of Speer #13 in 1998. Probably a shortage of roughage, because I went on the use the manual heavily. Speer #13 has been one of my top three choices for reloading manuals and one I’ve recommended frequently. It has excellent, comprehensive […]

The word “Impressive” is probably a good place to start. Finally, a great reference book with original work, lots of identifying photos and an absence of reproduced catalogue pages. In addition, the book’s content is actually consistent with the title and it is written and organized in a manner appropriate […]

Like most firearm enthusiasts I enjoy reading about the big guns, but have found that most books are written from almost an adventure novel perspective on double rifles rather […]

The good news is that the contents of the Seventh EditionHornady reloading handbook are located between the covers of a single book. Customers no longer have to pay for a dust collecting volume of trajectory table data, data that can now be found, at no cost, on the Hornady web […]

I thought this would be an interesting title. I couldn’t begin to imagine which firearm deer would favor, or how a book could be based on the most unanswerable question to ever permeate Internet firearm related message boards. Sure, it begins innocently enough, “Hi. I’m a newbie and thinking about […]
