This brand new edition is the most comprehensive reference book on powders available to reloaders and has been revised to include the most popular current and discontinued powders available at time of publishing in 2008. This truly is a ""one-of-a-kind"" compendium dreamed up by Wolfe Publishing Company Founder David Wolfe and excellently executed by his talented writing staff at Handloader Ammunition Reloading Journal. You'll be treated to entertaining discussions about single-base, extruded powders; ball powders; doublebase powders; burn rates; chemical compositions; bulk density or grams per cubic centimeter; grain (kernel) lengths; and caliber recommendations for certain powders. Best of all, it contains recommended loads, essential reference data, and tips from powder manufactures and the staff writers at Handloader. The list of profiled powders is too long to list here, but noteworthy among them are such manufacturers as Vihtavouri, Hodgdon, IMR, Alliant, Accurate, Norma, and Winchester. 439 Pages - soft cover.
