I have used 9th addition until now, I use it constantly for reference and it is one of my most used books on the shelf I decided to get the latest addition, what a disappointment! 1. the schematics of the cases with dimensions - absent 2. the older print had pictures of rifle examples – absent (not a big loss) 3. the general print quality of the cartridge pictures are poor 4. the way the new print is organised simply sucks, hard to find and cross reference cartridges The only good thing the latest print has is the listing of new cartridges I was looking forward to replace 9th addition with 12th addition, but that will not happen, 12th addition will only become an annexure to the older print
This book is probably the best accumulation of technical information on commercial and wildcat cartridges available on the market today. The amount of information varies from cartridge to cartridge, and the commercial offerings carry more than the wildcats, but that is to be expected. The authors try very hard present as many cartridges as possible, ranging from black powder to modern smokeless in handgun, rifle and shotgun rounds. My only con would be that I would like to see more dimensional specs on each cartridge. But all in all, a great book.
Lots of good info , it's amazing how many different cartridges one is never heard of
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I mostly wanted information on a 6.5/257 Roberts round. It lists almost every wildcat round ever made, but nothing on my round.

Not too much to say about this purchasse, ie. very little - oredered it for a friend, when IT came I merely gave it to him (managed to be paid for IT too). I have an earlier version of this volume which, when need arises, I utilize as a reference. As I have no firearms capable of firing/chambered for any of the relatively newly formulated cartridges, ie. super short, super fat magnums, I really don't have a need for a new volume which describes them. Das Ende.
