Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Pre-Publication list for RIFLE HANDLOADS THAT SHOOT

We're getting close to sending this book to the printer, probably in the next week or so. Eileen will have the words/pages set up this week, and then we just have to add the photos, which have already been selected.

One thing we're running into which needs to be mentioned. The title is Gun Gack IV, the Little Book of Rifle Handloads That Work. It's about loads I've found to shoot accurately in more than one rifle of a certain chambering over the years, sometimes a LOT of rifles. There are 50 cartridges included, ranging from around 20 very popular rounds down to a handful of rare ones. Each chapter is a short essay followed by a load chart.

We knew it would be a smaller than the previous three BIG Gun Gack books, which are about the size of a Gun Digest Annual, around 400 pages in the same 8-1/2 by 11-inch format. This book will be a lot smaller, around 250 pages in a 6x9 inch format--but something happened that we didn't anticipate: Book publishing has been affected, like everything else, by the recent supply-chain/inflation problems. We found this out partly through ordering another printing our first RIFLE LOONY NEWS book. It turned out the company didn't have enough paper on hand for the entire printing, so shipped us 25 copies to get by on while they waited for another paper shipment.

Of course, paper costs more now, and so does shipping. We won't know exactly what the price will be until the books arrive, due to both the final printing and shipping costs not being available until then. As a result, even though the book will indeed be smaller than the BIG GACK books, the price may be similar. Oh, and one other thing that's going up, naturally, is postage rates, which will apparently rise before the books arrive. But we'll provide the best deal possible--and right now fuel prices are starting to drop a little...

Let me know if you want to be put on the pre-publication list, which means when the books show up I'll PM everybody and let you know they're here. As always, the price on www.riflesandrecipes.com will include media-mail shipping in the U.S., and the books can be ordered through the site--or if you prefer ordering from an actual human, by phoning 406-521-0273.

Thanks,
