I am ahead of all of you, I bought 2 and got the very first copy autographed. The second copy I sold to Travis for $54.00, so I ended up getting mine for free... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/Mobile%20Uploads/image_26.jpeg) Shrapnel, how did you get Number 1? I got Number 1 too... Kidding!

Ingwe just likes it so much cuz he is mentioned in it a few times lol
That just increases its credibility, and in the long run, its value!  How could it not be fantastic, if I'm in it?

Mule Deer; Good evening to you, I trust this finds you and Eileen doing well. As I've already mentioned my copy landed safely on our side of the medicine line about a week or so back. Not only have I found it a grand read thus far, the buddy I mentioned who picked up a RAR .243 came over last weekend and was asking about a good load to try in it. Of course I pulled out my fresh copy, showed him the data you'd printed using a RAR and said "this is the guy who said yours should shoot as good as it does." Anyway John, not that you need another vote for a good book, but here's one from me anyway. All the best to you and Eileen this Christmas season. Dwayne

Mule Deer,
Great Gack couldn't put it down even calibers I don't reload.
A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Eileen.

Ya know Tom, this is all good but some of us are holding out waiting for Savage99 to give his official review / endorsement prior to ordering  Oh wait - I already ordered my copy and yes, it's all you say... Speaking of two copies, I know darn well I'd ordered JB's Rifle Troubleshooting and Handloading book over a year ago but for the life of me couldn't find it. Assuming I had just imagined it, I ordered another copy of that one with my Gun Gack book. Of course I found my first copy as soon as the second one arrived...

I ordered two and now read in his signature there is no 222 Magnum data....WTF? Oh well, if LoadBooks ever calls for mag Deuce data, I'll be able to cash in on that market....

Another Amen from the peanut gallery. I appreciate that the book is printed in a large format with larger, easier to read typeface.
This is not a book to put in your backpack to take with you on your wilderness hunt.
This is a big, heavy book that is worth its weight in gold.
It would make a terrific Christmas present to yourself, or any true rifle loony that you know. You bet it did, I got my two from the first delivery a few weeks back and my brother just got the one I sent him for his birthday/Christmas present this week. I like loonies as they are so easy to shop for, thanks to Mr Mule Deer! Geno

Thanks, Geno!
However, the website isn't making shopping easy today, since it going in and out. Our web provider is out of town and isn't going to be able to get to his own computer until later today. In the meantime, anybody wanting GACK can still call Eileen at 406-521-0273.

Have to agree with you Tom.... a great, great read not to mention a reference guide for years to come. Anyone who has not ordered one had better get it done!

And shrapnel and Steve and ....
Someday I am gonna do something stupid enough to be worth a mention like you guys did lol Hey, I made him the "lucky trade" for the 7mm Remington Express brass! Thank you thank you thank you.... Best of all though, the large print made me feel young, cause I didn't need reading glasses!

The large print was very deliberate, partly because we know the average rifle loony is older than the average American--and partly because we are!

I received my 3 Books plus Bonus Camo Loonie Hat yesterday !
(Big Gack, Optics, Shotguns for WingShooting)
Ordered through Eileen, sorry for interrupting John's birthday lunch with my phone order, but Thank You for the expedient delivery !
Happy Birthday to me !
I was pleased to note that there was no Ingwe thong centrefold anywhere apparent, whew ;-)
I did immediately don my new fav' camo Loony hat, testing for fit etc. before heading to the reading room for the initial perusal.
The large print format of Gack will be useful for propping up at a distance and testing optics in the evening.
Shotguns for Wingshooting is an amazing bargain for the content & format. I haven't barely opened Optics for the Hunter, but this is right up there with John's earlier Obsessions, and Tuning books.
Excellent reading thus far, and highly recommended.
Cheers, and a Merry Christmas to all
