Required Reading

OK, maybe that heading is a bit over the top, but every serious shooter could benefit tremendously from reading these two publications.

• Any Shot You Want: The A-Square Handloading and Rifle Manual - Some of the most frequent questions I receive involve choosing a cartridge for a particular application, and I am not aware of a better reference than Any Shot You Want. It provides comprehensive and easily understandable explanations of a wide array of chambering options.
• Rifle Accuracy Facts by Harold R. Vaughn - If you are interested in learning more about the factors that contribute to exceptional rifle performance, no other source of information compares to Dr. Vaughn's definitive study.
