For more books like this, please visit www.SportsmansVintagePress.com You save moneyâ€”and you get exactly the loads you want. Thatâ€™s the profit in hand-loadingâ€”and this is the book that tells you how to do it, sold at a price you can afford. For the price of 2 factory cartridges you can handload 15! The easy, step-by-step explainations in this book give you the full information on beating the high cost of shooting. Right from the start, Townsend Whelen presumes that you donâ€™t know anything about handloading. He gives you every step in the various operations: decapping, cleaning the primer pocket, chamfering the neck, recapping, neck sizing and expanding, powder measuring, inserting and seating the bullets after you have cast, lubricated and sized them. Not a point is missed. The kinds of tools the beginner needs are pictured and described. Whelen doesnâ€™t advocate that you go overboard buying. A full discussion of powders, how to measure, handle and store them is also given. The bullet-making chapter is particularly good. And best of all, Whelen doesnâ€™t pretend to tell you how to load 8,000 different cartridges. He sticks to some 40 basic loads, the ones beginners are most apt to use, ranging from the .218 Bee to the .45-70 U. S. Government. In fact, the whole book is aimed at the tyro handloaderâ€”the man who wants to know how. As one reviewer has expressed it, â€œThis is the only book that tells how to load a cartridge.â€ It gives complete, detailed, and easily understood instructions on exactly how to load every centerfire rifle and pistol cartridges. Each step is explained precisely, and all the precautions necessary for loading safe, accurate, and dependable cartridges are given. This fourth edition has been carefully edited and considerably enlarged to include all the new techniques resulting from a very considerable increase in handloading during the past five years. The tables of loads for each cartridge give the best loads for all uses for which that cartridge is suitable. Particularly, each load has been tested and found entirely safe in all normal weapons. Helpful hints are given on how to load and obtain the greatest accuracy.
