Cartridges of the World (11th Edition)

The book was excellent. All that I expected. It contains information on thousands of cartridges, current and obsolete, along with loading info. (Valuable for obsolete cartridges as a guideline.) The shipment was very fast. The best is that the book was on sale.

The collector and also the sports enthusiast/gun owner who will find Frank C. Barnes' CARTRIDGES OF THE WORLD, 11TH EDITION provides a complete reference to over 1,500 cartridges for guns, providing ballistics and load data, information on modern as well as obsolete cartridges, military rifle and proprietary cartridges, and more. Each listing comes with a good-sized black and white photo of the cartridge, with historical background accompanying general specs and information.

Very good description about cartridges and some other important information about this topic. This book changes the way to analyze basics about Ammo.

This book is a useful addition to any firearms enthusiast's library. It covers a wide range of pistol, rifle and shotgun cartridges, both modern and obsolete. The only thing that would make this book better is dimensioned illustrations of all the cartridges listed.

The 10 th Edition is a worthwhile addition to the library. The newer cartridges are here as well as the obsolete ones, including the Military stuff. Section leads are updated to include the latest information avaiable on the cartridges as well as the manufacturers and users. As usual, advice is provided for possible parent cases or sources for new cases to reload for the obsolete rounds.
