This book, or more appropriately “booklet” at 41 pages, represents one of the best values I’ve received from a publication. At first I was annoyed when I opened my $16 package and found this little black and white work inside, but as I read each page, I realized that I…...

There are many books with old publication dates that do a great job of providing insight into machine operation. In fact. many of the pre-computer era books are much closer to the small lathe and milling machines going into home workshops today, than many of the newer books that drift…...

I bought this book a while ago, just before I got the mini lathe and mini mill, but I set it aside as being less than useful. As I set up metal working projects after the new equipment was installed, I began to realize how little current practical material there…...

There are a number of good books on the market that focus on ballistics; internal, external and terminal. They are written on several levels, directed at different audiences, quite probably with different intent. “Modern Exterior Ballistics”, Robert L.

When I began to putter around with some of my own firearm repairs and upgrades, minor projects – nothing serious, I started picking up related shop and repair manuals and, later, video training tapes. One of the more favorable byproducts of exposure to this type of information was that it…...

Barnes publishes a different type of manual than other bullet manufacturers. Barnes manuals predominately serve experienced handloaders who wish to use Barnes bullets; the manuals lack the depth of handloading process information, and defined concepts or illustration of internal ballistics found in Hornady or Speer manuals. The 62 page section…...

I buy every major component manufacturers reloading manual and constantly review web sites operated by the same. Once is a great while, I’ll also buy manuals that are not produced by the usual suspects; A Square manual or P.O. Ackley’s old stuff – come to think of it, I’ve only…...
