[Savage Fanatic]

Any one have the low down on this book? Is it worth the $40 they are wanting for it?

I havn't read that book but 40 bucks seems like alot of money have you tried amazon.

Amazon refeers me to some place called Butler Rare Books.

Which for some asinine reason they think its worth $100. :lol:

And Barnes & Noble doesn't carry it.

Sounds like you might have to bite the bullet and spend 40 bucks.

If a shooter is really interested in long-range ballistics, then it's a worthwhile read. I got it a few months ago and have picked my way through it. Pretty well written. Covers bullets from several manufacturers.

Not a loading manual - you won't find load data in it.

You will find a lot of good info about how consistent various bullets perform at longer ranges, and some good explanations about why. The author is apparently a real whiz at math, but wrote the book so that the rest of us can understand it too! :grin:

Worthwhile? Only if you want a LOT of info on long-range bullets/ballistics. He touches on both competition and hunting uses of the bullets. I'm glad I bought the book.

Thank you for everything you put in to your response!!!!!

I've been struggling with my decision, ever since I tripped over his site, whether or not to choke up the $40.

But everything you explained here, made my decision simpler, by a "Long Shot"! :lol:
