Very good read, John.

Just got mine yesterday, and went straight to the article about modern loads in the 7x57 (duh). The rest of the book will be read one chapter in the evening, just before lights out. I got to make it last till Gack IV comes out.
BTW, John, that's a fine looking rifle leaning against that moose.

Damn! Nothing yet. Of course, since they screwed with our post office a few years ago, we see stuff two to seven days after everyone else. I was sick a few years ago. The get well card from work took four days to get to me, and I live a mile and a half from the office.

Mine just got here today and, if it can get past the New Orleans logjam, anything is possible.

Mine arrived today - haven't had time to unpack it yet.

The Vanguard stock I ordered from Weatherby has been sitting, apparently buried in a container of Republican mail-in ballots, in Greensboro, NC since the 12th. Yes, I would like some cheese with my whine.

Hey John...just finished chapter 19..expansion of hunting bullets...worth the cost of the book in it`s own right. Anyway that chapter could be incorporated into Hunter Safety programs as required reading? Excellent info. Maybe you could start the ball rolling in Mt. by donating the chapter to them. Start the new hunters off with a proven example of how bullets really work.
Looking forward to more good things to come..

It has arrived!!! Had to read the 7x57 chapter immediately. Now I can get on with my life, reading a couple chapters each evening while sipping a suitable libation.

It was warm out last evening, so my usual straight whisky and full bodied cigar were out. Cutty and Soda on the rocks and a mild Montecristo White filled in quite nicely.

Just placed my international order, to take advantage of Eileens sale on
Upland bird cooking & Shotguns for Wingshooting.
Will advise about structural damage to my credit wrt shipping charges.
If there’s a GAck IV, we have to talk seriously about an e format volume !

Hoping mine arrives today. The pre-ordered books did NOT all go out at the same time. There were so many it took four days to package and mail them, so some will be arriving later, both due to that and the variability in distance from here. The good news is that, in general, the post office is doing a lot better than during its summer "vacation." That said, if yours doesn't show up this week, e-mail Eileen: riflesandrecipes  gmail.com

There are two ways to do it: One is easily pirated, and the other tends to garble numbers/data, which doesn't work with handloading or game recipes. I can attest to that. I tried an ebook version of a 303 British book, and the columns were skewed. It turned out bad, so I yanked it and returned to paper. Paper needs no Internet connection, or tablet/laptop. No power source either. You can read a book comfortably, while sitting on the privy at moose camp!
