If you ordered off the website, you can PM me your name, address and order number and Eileen can provide a tracking number. A woman from Washington state called yesterday, who was worried about the copy she ordered, because it needed to be there by Wednesday, the 23rd. Eileen looked up the tracking number, which said it was expected to arrive on Monday. The predicted time of arrival with the standard media-mail shipping we include in the prices listed on www.riflesandrecipes.com is generally accurate. But it of course also depends on when the book was mailed, and there were so many pre-orders that it took 4-1/2 days to package and ship them. And of course the farther the book's destination from Montana the longer it takes.

Loads that work, reloading manuals are full of listed loads but Nosler takes it to a higher level and tells you their most accurate powder charge for each powder as well as their best load powder wise for each cartridge. Then comes JB with GG 4 who gets right down to the nitty gritty. No guessing on what powders to start with, read what he says and save the price of the book the first time you don't have to guess at what powder to try first. Saves a lot of money this day and age of damn expensive components. Then of course if you call in your order you get to talk to leanie and she is allways nice to talk too...mb

Mine showed today. Mostly I have interest in 243win, 30-06, and 375h&h. Then I found the 30-40 Krag section. Good grief, I wan that 30-40 single shot.

We lived in a tiny town near Lewistown in the late 1980s. A UPS truck went off the road and flipped between our town and Lewistown--and it contained a BUNCH of skunk "cover-scent" a local sporting goods store had ordered..... If it was a good book, a little skunk scent could be overcome!

Got mine Saturday, love it, can't wait to try some of the new powders and loads. Load intro is worth the price of the book. Thanks JB

Oh, the 7x64 is there--but the data's hidden inside the data for the "other" 7x64--the .280 Remington!

My copy arrived today! Awesome idea to print the cartridge type on the page edge. I can thumb thru quickly to index what I need. Thank You John for another great GG book. Is your wrist tired from signing books?

Is your wrist tired from signing books? Glad you're liking GG4! Printing the cartridge on the edge of the page was Eileen's idea. Of course, she knows rifle loonies.... My right-hand/wrist did get a little weary signing books last week, when we were taking batches of 50 to the P.O., sometimes three times a day. But it's OK now. (The big problem is my right knee, which I twisted a little while stalking and dragging out a mule deer last Thursday, but it's also getting better--perhaps enough to go after another deer later today....)

GG IV and RLN arrived the same day via two different mailing systems. Great stuff! One question, though: Page 112 in GG IV says, "The 6.5 PRC's first animal was this mule deer, a 2 1/2 year old buck with stunted antlers, which tasted great!"  The question is, how did you prepare the antlers? Braising would seem the logical way, but Dad taught us that antlers make poor gravy, so... Inquiring minds want to know.

Ha! (But you apparently need to Google "subordinate clause" as applied to the English language.)
