Enjoyed the book. Particularly the article on the 416 Rigby. My RSM happened to regulate with the open sights with RL 22 and the nosler 400 grain bullet at 2548 FPS avg. Factory ammo and slower handloads shot low except the 350 Speer with H870 at 2206.
Just proves each rifle, even by the same maker is unique.
Thank John B.

I loved the book too.
It's been a sad week around here losing Bob. At least we still have John and heaps of other good guys.

It is an excellent book and I find myself using it as a constant resource of late.
Well worth buying.

Have it by the bed, just to take a look when I happen to get a thought about something, which doesn't happen often, according to my wife.

I got mine and Modern Optics last week. Thanks, John.

Where can it be had and what is the real title... or is this it?
Thanks,

Tomorrow I'll probably order it.
If you reload, there's no such thing as an obsolete cartridge.
Once you render an opinion, you open yourself up to criticism.

Thanks for the order! The only minor problem is our local post office isn't open for shipping packages on Saturdays, and with the holiday weekend won't be open again until Tuesday.

Oh well, I know delivery is not instantaneous. I can wait.

It is very informative - and well worth owning.

It's a great resource, especially if you load for a lot of different cartridges. I've used my copy a lot.

Good to know. I couldn't be sure if there were enough chapters on specific cartridges, but tried to make sure the most popular were included. Thanks!

Ok, with all these good reviews I'm starting to get anxious.
