Popular Sporting Rifle Cartridges

This book is an absolute must read for everyone with an interest in hunting North American big game out of a rifled bore. Harvey's folksy, yet accurate and analytic, style eclipses all others in the field (except, perhaps, Wayne Van Zwoll's "Elk Hunting & Cartridges"). Popular Sporting Rifle Cartidges can be read from cover to cover, or used as a handy reference book, covering the full gamut of popular hunting cartridges available at time of publication. Only an update by Harvey himself could surpass this book in value.

The best book of its type I've ever read.

I've worn the cover off mine. Mr. Harvey, if you are listening.........please.........Let us have a reprint in hardback.......and maybe even volume two... Clay Harvey is the best hardcore rife/hunting author since Jack O'Connor...

The best objective book concerning hunting cartridges ever!

Clay Harvey has an informed, easy-going style that translates easily into a sometimes humorous and always factual (as backed by real shooting bench data)account. He reviews a wide variety of cartridges, from the venerable .220 Swift to the modern day wildcats. If you don't have any idea what type of rifle/cartridge combo to buy for your next hunt or have been a rifleman for 20 years, this book will be thoroughly enjoyed by all.
