The Cartridge Comparison Guide

Elite snipers and avid outdoorsmen have called this book the Best-Most Comprehensive and most easily understood ballistics and hunting manual EVER WRITTEN! The CARTRIDGE COMPARISON GUIDE compares every factory available cartridge from 17 to 577 caliber in both Rifles and Handguns. This GUIDE is broken into four sections. First, a detailed step by step process to help you better understand your shooting environment and personal requirements. Second, this GUIDE combines 12 major load sources into the data tables detailing the full performance potential and "nose to nose" comparisons for every Rifle and Handgun cartridge. It provides 7 comparative chapters for Rifle and 6 for Handgun cartridges. Every table details the Bullet Weight, Velocity, Bullet Energy, Powder Efficiency, and Recoil Energy of each cartridge. The third section provides 14 discussion sections detailing cartridge and bullet selection based on the game animal, bullet construction, desired wound-channel, shooting distance, hunting environment, and much more. The fourth section provides quick reference Ballistic Charts. These charts feature a Bullet Energy and Bullet Momentum chart and an Optimum Ballistic Coefficient "per bullet weight" chart (this chart details trajectory, velocity and energy out to 500 yards for bullet weights of 20 to 750 grains) .
