[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2234925, member: 92702"] I had three. They have all passed and their stuff is out of print, but you can find it and read it if you look hard enough. They are hard bound books, and just as relevant today as they were written. The first is Bob Hagel's book. He goes into depth about handloading, what works and doesn't. And it is filled with the same thing on hunting North American game. It should be required reading even today for and hunter who wants to handload ammunition. Both of P.O. Ackley's books. Load data in them is dated with all the new powders available, but filled with information on wildcatting. Last was Keith's book. Well written with lots of stories. Written by a great man. I cannot take stock in any TV show. They are NOT instructional. They are entertaining. Shooter is always at a different angle than camera and they always appear to shoot at the wrong time. They overcall, and do many things that you cannot get away with yourself. If you are interested in Africa Robert Ruark's books are a fantastic read. You literally cannot put them down. Use Enough Gun was my favorite. There is some more current stuff out there on hunting, loading and ballistics, but I feel if you haven't read and soaked in the above works you will be missing so much of the base knowledge you need to apply they properly.
