Article: 11:6 Re reloading books: Look at just about any gun magazine on the stands at the moment. In it you will find DBI Books' annual Christmas-special ad, from which you can order any of their books and get another book of equal or lesser cost free, with no postage charge (during the rest of the year, they charge $2 postage on the "free" books). They publish quite a few reloading books which you might find worthwhile, and they generally are worth the half-list-price you pay in this mail-order deal each year. (I usually buy everything new they publish each year around this time, using the money I get for Christmas and birthday from relatives, so the books are my presents.) Look at the descriptions of "ABCs of Reloading", "Reloading for Shotgunners", "Handloader's Digest", and "Cartridges of the World" (which includes some load data on each one). Any of these, and I believe they have some others, too, will be worth having if they coincide with your interests. Also, many of their other books have sections on reloading related to the topic of the book. Will Martin UUCP/USENET: seismo!brl-bmd!wmartin or ARPA/MILNET: wmartin@almsa-1.ARPA

Article: 11:10 I can highly recommend the book ABCs of Reloading. It is very well written and doesn't talk-down to the reader. Although this book has its share of tables and lists, the author has managed to keep the text from becoming too dry. This can be very important when reading a book on "things-that-go-boom". After all, if you skip-over too much of the text, you might end up paying for it later. The cost of the book (list) is $11.95 -- and well worth it. Gary (hplabs,allegra,ihnp4)oliveb!olivee!gnome
