Cartridges of the world is a must have for any serious shooter, reloader and gun enthusiast. The current book has more and newer cartridges than the older edition but I do not think it as quite informative in general as when Frank Barnes was the editor.

If you are puzzled by the varied and complex world of cartridges, then go no further than this great book. It is well organized, has excellent photos and illustrations and is well worth the price. That and it covers just about every round from the puny shooting gallery rounds to the monster British Safari rounds.

A must for any rifle owner (I own 40) and I have never come across as good a source of info. I have a few editions and they only get better.

I have have been Collecting Ammo for more than 10 years and always had problems when trying to find out what the calbre of the cartridge is that does not have any markings and this book is the only book one the market that will tell you what the bullet is and small history about the round and reloading detail.
