Summary: Ammo & Ballistics 11
Comment: This book is fantastic and loaded with so much hard data that picking the wrong, ammo for your hunting trip no mater where you are hunting the deserts of Arizona for small game with 17 Hornady V Max Magnum Rimfire, to hunting the top 5 in Africa with a 700 Nitro Express would be almost an impossibly. This book covers all the calibers that it is impossible for any one not to find the caliber (s) that they are in the hunt for. I am confident that any shooter if they are experienced or not, they will find this book and invaluable source of reference, and well worth the price.

Summary: BEST BALLISTICS BOOK YET
Comment: I loved this book. I could not find the .223 Lapua data that jmrbldg in NJ talked about, but I do understand why he can not get the ballistic coeficient of the Nosler Partition bullets, as induvidually sold by Nosler, to match the ones as listed in this book. Nosler, and others, deliver slightly different bullets to commerical manufacturers as opposed to hand loaders. That and the fact that some bullets are made under license accounts for the difference. Is this book flawless? No but pretty darn near so. What it bassically shows you is the ballistics out to 1000 yards (bullet drop, speed, energy) of all commerically loaded hunting ammo sold in the US. This is an amazing collection of data, never assembled before as best as I know. For instance I went out squirrel shooting the other day with my .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire. I looked up the Hornady load with the 17 grain V Max bullet. The table showed when zeroed at 100 yards it is 0.2 inches high at 50 yards and 2.6 inches low at 150 yards. So I wrote this on a piece of paper and taped it to my rifle stock. I only needed to zero in the gun at 100 yards and I had all the data I needed from the book. It does this from the .22 Hornet to a caliber called .700 Nitro Express. (Probably made to kill Russian tanks.) And I do mean all calibers: 30-60, 270, 243, 338 etc etc. And there are dozens of factory loadings for the more popular calibers. The 30-06, for instance, has over 100 different factory loads listed. Flawless, no I am sure it is not. For instance they ommited to list the Ultramax 55 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip in .223, and oversight I am sure. Overall I find this book so valuable that I can not understand how they can sell it below 20 bucks. The only disadvantage I can see is that you must buy new editions with some regularity as the factories always come up with new loads. For 20 dollars, try and make it yourself. Bargain of the centory. You pay more than twice that per month to get a high speed internet connection! I am sold and every shooter ought to have a copy.

Summary: Fantasy Ballistics
Comment: I purchased this book trying to help a friend to find a
hunting load. Upon closer examination I determined some of the
information to be incorrect. e.g. in .223 Lapua has a listing
with a 55gr.fmj with a ballistic coefficient of .412!!?
In the book .30 cal. Nosler partitions have a b.c. of.354-.585!
In truth Nosler has 3 different Partitions: one at .361 and
[email protected]. My concern is that some uninformed choices will be made
based on what this book says and dangerous assumptions will be
made.
