Review Quotes:
This is not the first book of Fred's I've read. As with all of his others, Fred is pleasant and easy to read, thoroughly understands his subject matter and, most important, so will his readers by the time they complete the book.Zeglin has the ability to make complex technical topics easy to understand, a gift not shared by many writers of technical works. I highly recommend this book and all of his others to those interested in the technical aspects of guns, gunsmithing, reloading, and designing Wildcat cartridges. I learn new things every time I read one of his books, and I've been gunsmithing, reloading, wildcatting, and instructing in the field for 50 years. Robert Dunlap
