In AFRICAN RIFLES AND CAR TRIDGES John Taylor takes up the modern and powerful British, German and American big game rifles and cartridges and, one by one, tells all about them. And he is fully qualified to do so, as he has used them all in his several decades of professional hunting. Doubles, magazines and single-shots, he can and does tell of the virtues and faults of each. He tells of the practical value of steel jacketed bullets versus those covered with cupro-nickel; he points out the faults of copper-tubed bullets; he shows the actual effect of soft-point bullets with varying degrees of lead exposure; he explains the necessity of modern bullets that will really stand up to the requirements when fired into heavy...

In AFRICAN RIFLES AND CAR TRIDGES John Taylor takes up the modern and powerful British, German and American big game rifles and cartridges and, one by one, tells all about them. And he is fully qualified to do so, as he has used them all in his several decades of professional hunting. Doubles, magazines and single-shots, he can and does tell of the virtues and faults of each. He tells of the practical value of steel jacketed bullets versus those covered with cupro-nickel; he points out the faults of copper-tubed bullets; he shows the actual effect of soft-point bullets with varying degrees of lead exposure; he explains the necessity of modern bullets that will really stand up to the requirements when fired into heavy animals; as well as numberless other tips and explanations about car-^ tridges and rifles. Here is ballistic information of a degree unknown heretofore to American hunters; information that can be profitably applied in the hunting of American big game.

(Continued from front flap)
Supplementing all this practical application of ballistics is a wealth oL information on the actual hunting of all African game; the habits of many species; together with instruction on the practical handling and shooting of the different rifles under discussion. Gunbuilding specifications, stocking, weight, balance and fit are fully discussed, as well as the true worth of the many accessories and gadgets. Sighting arrangements are all here; the author is a strong advocate of modern telescopic sights and he uses them whenever possible, even when hunting the most dangerous game. One outstanding chapter is "Marksmanship in the Bush," a positively unique exposition of the practical application of one's shooting ability when faced with the real test in the hunting field.
This outstanding work is supported by a string of technical illustrations, especially prepared and as original as the text they clarify. The many cartridges, their components, and the various methods of ammunition assembly employed by gun-makers of different countries are all clearly shown in full-scale detail and by a new method of depiction, one you will clearly understand and appreciate.
