Summary:

If you want to know more about bullets than the number for your particular load, "The Hunter's Guide to Ballistics" is for you. It will teach you how to shoot better at long range, in the wind, and up and down hills; what causes mirage and how to read it; why some bullets shoot tighter groups farther; how gunpowder is made; why bullets that move left also rise; and which cartridges are suitable for everything from Alaskan moose and brown bears to whitetails to varmints anywhere. Here, too, you'll find data (velocity, energy, arc) for all factory bullets currently loaded in the U.S., a condensed but detailed history of ballistic study, plus information on shotguns and air guns. Readable, entertaining, and practical, "The Hunter's Guide to Ballistics" will give you the knowledge -- and perhaps the confidence -- that leads to better shooting.
