Curious Obsession with Cartridges
This book is very well laid out and gives a really good explanation of any cartridge you've every heard of and some you probably have never heard of and a particularly good treatise on obsolete cartridges. The listing of 22 cal. rimfires with ballistic data is worth the price of the Book. Five stars all the way.

Great Reference Book
This book has proven to be a great book for identifing cartridges and just learning about some of the not so common rounds out there. It is a very complete book covering black powder cartridges to modern. Each cartridge in the book has a little description and some history and some even have the dimensions of the round. Interesting reading for researching or pleasure.
