Cartridges of the World, 16th Edition: A Complete and Illustrated Reference for Over 1,500 Cartridges

A very, very comprehensive coverage of the subject matter, this is a genuine one-stop volume about military and hunting cartridges, old and new, for hand-held firearms (my only, trivial, quibble is that it does not include details of older, super-heavy machine gun ammo). A genuine book-you-can't-do-without. Almost every cartridge has its photo and full technical details available.

This is the third issue of this book that I have bought over the years, has to be THE go to reference book for all shooters and collectors, definitely a 5 star buy.

Just a great book,full of detailed facts about the many kind of rounds both rifles and handguns.

I have the rest of the range in the collection

The definitive work

I keep this by my toilet and spend countless hours reading up cartridges then call a friend up and talk ft lbs and velocities etc... hours and hours talking the same rubbish for decades! Things have moved on since John Taylor’s book we read and quoted lol.

A most useful reference book for my line of work

With each edition, this is getting better. A few years ago they removed some material and put it on a CD, in order to free up space for "newer" cartridges. It was a reasonable solution but I am glad that they put everything back in and the bigger book is not a problem. There are still some "old" cartridges that are missing and it would be nice to have them included but you cannot find a better overall reference source.

Excelente livro técnico para quem deseja entrar no mundo das armas e munições.

I was given an old 1969 copy of this book back in the 1980's, this is a current updated version. Though this version is a bit dryer to read than the older one I have, it is Packed full of information that most do not know. This book lists and gives a brief history on Cartridges, pistol, rifle, shotgun and wildcat from the past through the most current cartridges as of the print date. From calibers made here in the USA to foreign calibers. It also lists some reloading information or if the cartridge is no longer made, what the factory load was. This is an essential book for the gun collector, re-loader, historian or anyone that is into firearms and or the history of them.If possible, try and grab some older ones at yard sales, swap meets or flee markets. Some of the older information gets dropped as updated books come out and some of the older writers are better with some humorous bits in their writing. It is a writing style that has been lost today. If you are able to grab one of the older copies you will see what I mean. But this copy is a great source of information.
