Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters The Big Book of Gun Gack II

Hello,

I have just finished to read the book. What a GREAT, full of practical information, Book. Indeed! Highly recommended !!!

Best Regards

PH

Ditto!
rookie

Just order a copy a few days ago. Should be here soon!

Thanks, guys!

We're planning on publishing GG 3 next year.

It always nice to have "keeper" books around any hunting camp as they are certainly appreciated

That's welcome news. GG I and GG II were both well worth it, that grabbing a copy of GG III is a no-brainer.

Never loan out a GG book. I have 2 copies of GG1 ,but, one is permanently domiciled at my buddies house. He claims to have no knowledge. Mule Deer will laugh at you if explain why you are ordering a replacement copy.

I love mine. Will you be offering a bathroom-sized version, too??

Ahah! He trickles out the info a little at a time, just to keep us on the hook. Crafty son-of-a-gun, isn't he?

Well you can put me in for a copy of #3.

Just got 1 and 2 last week. So far 1 is great. Reloading books aren't usually this interesting.

I may have to try your suggestions for tightening up a M71s accuracy.

Thanks, guys.

I just started a pre-order list for GG3.

How do I get on the list for number three?

You just did.

For those who subscribe to RIFLE LOONY NEWS, there'll be an announcement about pre-orders there as well.

Oh, gawd.

Thank you!

yes put me down too for a GG# 3 ! and a GG #4 ? THANKS,Pete53

>May i say this for the guys who don`t own Gun Gack 1 and 2 and you are reloader or want to start reloading ammo both of these books have some very good information for the beginner and all reloaders !

And another reservation request, book for one please.

I'm in for gg3

Gack 1 has 348 in it and I know 2 has 33wcf in it which I was thrilled to see. Any chance 3 will have 475 turnbull? (I know but a man can dream)

Enjoying the writing immensely!

I like the large print - I can read the Gun Gack books without using my reading glasses!

Oh, and it's a pretty good book too!

Guy

Thanks, Guy. Good to know the book's appeal is not just the big print!

I’m in for GG3.

John;
Good morning to you and Eileen, I hope the day is as nice and clear in your part of the world as it looks to be here.

Please put me down for GGIII as well.

Like as not I'll combine that order with another "Slice of the Wild" as it's been one of the more appreciated gifts I've given my hunting friends. The ring back edition is wonderful by the way - my wife gave our original away and kept a ring back!

Lastly I'm very much enjoying the "Big Book of Big Game Hunting" too and as my fellow Canuck from 6 valleys east already noted, the larger print is wonderful!

Thanks again and all the best to you both as we head into the fall hunting season.

Dwayne

I'm in.

Count me in for a signed copy of GG3.

Got everybody listed. Thanks!

John,
Please add me to the list.

Bruce

Got it, thanks.

Please add me to that list MD would ya.............

Well, I guess I want in also.

More money spent on that ancient technology called the printed word.

Wishing you and Eileen some good hunting and food making this season.

Geno

It would also make it easier to tear the pages out if they were perforated...

John, I have GG1 and GG2 and would appreciate being added to the list for GG3 if it's not to late.
rookie

rookieatbest,

It won't be too late for around a year, so you're good, as well as Geno.

Shrap,

Eileen wants to know if you want perforated pages in order to tear out anything involving 6.5mm cartridges, especially you-know-what....

John,

that would be such a nice gesture to those who refuse to acknowledge its existence.

I'll leave any 6.5 pages in there.

Geno

Does your editing software allow for "no 223 TAC data" special Luddite editions?

Great read indeed, also rifle looney the first five years, enjoy that format over the electronic newsletter, need the next 5 years book.

Eileen just sent her game-jerky book to the printer on Monday, and will be getting RIFLE LOONY NEWS, THE SECOND FIVE YEARS ready next. Since the pages are essentially already laid out, that won't take long, and the plan is to have copies by Thanksgiving at the latest.

It was mentioned somewhere about being in a bathroom and the 6.5 pages might work better than toilet paper if you put extra fiber in the ink...

I'd be a definite yes

Looking forward to GG 3, and hoping for something like "The big book of upland game hunting" to go along with your earlier Big Book of Big Game Hunting... Heck, add in fishing stories as well? I like the info in the GG series, but I'm a sucker for hunting stories!

Guy

Guy,

I pretty much have upland game covered, between my books WESTERN SKIES (a book of stories about bird hunting in the West) and SHOTGUNS FOR WINGSHOOTING, a hardcover with plenty of color photos.

Have only published one fishing book, MONTANA TIME, about flyfishing for trout (and related fish) in the northern Rockies. It's all stories, rather than technical, though there's obviously some technique described. Plus, there are at least a couple fishing stories in THE LIFE OF THE HUNT!

Put me on the list for #3

Thanks

John,
Please mark me down for GG3. Thanks!
Marty

guys looking for a good read similar to GG 1OR 2 might want to check out rifle trouble-shooting and handloading another of johns great books!

Ed

Everybody who asked is now on the list.

1234, thanks for the mention of RIFLE TROUBLE-SHOOTING. There seems to be steady demand for it even seven years after it was published.

John, love my Rifle Trouble-Shooting. It has prevented some boo-boos and is a great read.

Also, I’d pay extra for perforated pages with nothing printed on the back of .223, 6.5 , and .270 pages. 🙃

Steve

Steve,

Glad you found RTS useful!

We can always slide a few perforated loose-leaf pages in there.... ;-)

Have added all the requests for GG3.

Late to the party here, but put me in for III as well.

Better add me to the list as well. I've read the other two about 10 times each so far.

And I'm waiting for the next five year book of Rifle Loony News. I like to read a book rather than online.

Elvis, RIFLE LOONY NEWS, THE SECOND FIVE YEARS should be out in the next couple of months. Eileen had to get her new game-jerky cookbook in the printing pipeline first, since it took more prep work. Right now it looks like we'll have both available in October.

Have added everybody who's asked so far to the GG3 list.

Have also added a few to the GG3 list who PM'd. Thanks to all.

MD - do either GG2 or GG3 include anything on the 20 Tactical or 20 Practical?
I do have GG1, and it has a 204 Ruger article, just looking for every source of info I can find.

Yondering,

No, they don't have any info on either round, because I have yet to read/hear much difference between them and the .204 other than cheap brass. Which is of course can be important to some, but in my experience there are too many variables in wildcat chambered rifles to play with one enough to list minor variations in published data for the .204.

OK, thanks for the reply. Velocities are pretty similar as you said, but load data differs quite a bit from the 204; that's what I was most interested in.

Don’t know how I’ve miss this, please add me to the list for GG3. GGI and GGII have a permanent spot on my night stand.

Mule deer
Didn't know there was more than 1 GG book. I bought my copy off eBay signed by you.
Bloody great read the only problem is we can't get most of the powders you use hear in OZ. A bit disappointing but I did get hold of some cfe223 and hogdon superformance. Unfortunately they stopped importing it, not enough interested. Fortunately uitar managed 20 bottles of cfe223 and 6 bottles of superformance.

Holy snapping duck manure bat man doesn't that cfe223 give the Whelan a set of goat glands 2,900 fps with a 225 gn woodleigh all within acceptable safe working pressure.
I used to I use, hogdon 2213sc in my 25 but with superformance I'm getting 200fps more with safe working loads, 3,670fps chronoed with a 100gn Barnes ttsx ain't nothing to sneeze at.. I guard that powder very well as once it's gone that's it so I only use it in my hunting loads not for practice.

I've got both volumes 1 and 2. The one thing that kept bugging me was it felt like something was missing. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Then it hit me:

1) I didn't need to keep following those "continued page XXX" breadcrumb trails
2) There are no ads with women in bikinis.

#1 I can do without. However, Eileen really needs to let relax and let you put in some pictures of women in bikinis-- at least between chapters. I think it would really help with your sales to barbershops. Think of all those poor pre-pubescent boys.

shaman,

Thanks for your suggestion!

Will pass it on to Eileen.....

How about leather bound editions, hand written on vellum by Tibetan monks with calligrapy brushes fashioned from the belly hairs of the next Cape Buffalo you shoot?

Perhaps also a classic Etch-a-Sketch version?

My TBBGGII arrived yesterday. I’m keeping it boxed up for four more days without peeking, but I’m leaving town with TBBGGI also, because I won’t want to share the new one until I’ve read it cover to cover.

A quiet corner near the tree with great books and a glass of something neat. I’m easily entertained. New Years with the in laws will be similar, but minus the tree and twice the whisky.

GGI and GGII were great. They are the first books I read when I start loading for a new rifle.

Let me know when GGIII is available.

Thanks!

Thanks! I'll put you on the list.
