I've used this reference since its 2nd Edition. It is the only reference of its kind and has been a lifesaver when identifying obscure cartridges and head stamps. My first 6.5 Bergman comes to mind as an example. I didn't like moving some of the cartridges deemed obscure to disk. That's what the reference is about and giving me another media to go to is not helpful at the bench. Leaving the 6.5x47 Lapua out is a mystery to me. I have a rifle being built now in that great chambering. It's commercially loaded and barrels and dies are available at Brownells and Midway.if anything, this great piece of living history and testament to Frank Barnes life work should continue to grow and if that means bigger or even two volumes so be it. Til then, it's the only game in town for finding the history of .44 Evans Short.

I purchased this book because my old version wore out from use. My main reason for purchase was because I am a collector of antique ammunition. The new book has added the latest cartridges which have been introduced in recent years. Unfortunately, to make room for the additional cartridges the latest editor removed a number of the old and obsolete cartridges. Since my main reason for purchasing the item was to use as a guide for the old and obsolete ammunition, I see this as a step backwards. If you are also a collector of ammunition like me, I advise buying a used copy of one of the older versions.
