Thanks, guys!
We're planning on publishing GG 3 next year. 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!

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,
Glad you found RTS useful!
We can always slide a few perforated loose-leaf pages in there.... ;-)

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.

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.
