7th Edition Ammo Encyclopedia

From the team that brings you the annual Blue Book of Gun Values comes the Ammo Encyclopedia, the shooter’s definitive guide to centerfire, rimfire and shotshell cartridges. Now in its seventh edition, this guide is designed to be the go-to resource for current and obsolete ammunition. In its latest guise, the book includes more than 150 new and old cartridges not found in earlier editions.

An all-new format makes it easier to find cartridge profiles, which provide images, dimensions, ballistic information and historical background. Additionally, several articles delve into the history and manufacturing of ammunition, as well as safety considerations. A bonus color section also provides a step-by-step guide for those who want to start reloading their own ammo. MSRP is $50.
