This large compilation of 60 cartridge chapters is the definitive book on large calibers from 8mm to the .600 Nitro. Each chapter is written by a well known author like Bob Hagel, Al Miller, Mike Venturino, Ken Waters, Sam Fadala and many others, and each chapter includes commentary on the rifles and cartridges with loading tables and data. All the well known big boys are included along with some almost forgotten hunting rounds, improved versions and early cartridges guns. Modern loads for many of the black powder cartridges are listed. This book is very interesting even if you don't shoot the Big Bores. 360 pages, B and W illustrations, 8 - 1/2 x 11 format, softcover.
