Newly revised 3rd edition is bigger and better, ballistics data on 160 calibers & 2200 tables with loads out to 1000 yards. All you will ever need to know about factory ammo has finally been collected in one volume! Extensive, unique, easy-to-read data. Drawings & photos; 456 pgs.
'The completely revised and updated Ammo & Ballistics 3 is now available and better than ever! Ammo & Ballistics 3 contains data and illustrations on virtually every sporting cartridge sold in the USA. Besides clear and concise writing that clarifies the complexities of ballistics coefficients and energy versus momentum, this revised edition covers 160-plus calibers from .17 Mach2 to .700 Nitro Express. It contains information on rifle and handgun calibers, and it covers manufacturer, bullet weight, type, and construction. There are over 2,200 tables with ballistics for every available loading for each caliber. Tables include velocity, energy, wind drift, bullet drop, and ballistic coefficient up to 1,000 yards. Manufacturers include A-Square, Aguila, Black Hills, CCI/Speer, Cor-Bon Bullet, Dakota Arms, Eley Ltd., Federal Cartridge, Fiocchi, Hirtenberger, Hornady, Patria Lapua Oy, Lazzeroni, Kynoch (Kynamco Ltd.), MagTech, Norma, PMC (Eldorado Cartridge Corp.), Remington, Dynamit Nobel-RWS Inc., Sellier and Bellot, Ultramax, Weatherby, and Winchester.
In addition to data from the major ammunition manufacturers, he has included data from literally every manufacturer, large or small, that markets 'ready-made' ammunition in the United States. Naturally you will find ballistics figures and trajectory curves, but you will also find detailed cartridge diagrams; pressure and ballistic coefficients; standard rifling twists; recoil indexes; and even Taylor's 'Knock-Out' (KO) values. These are the kinds of things that we shooters love to argue about around a campfire, and in the past I have spent countless hours running from one reference to another looking for these priceless crumbs of information. Now I will have them all in one place.
