By M.L. (Mic) McPherson

179, 81/2" x 11" pages, 55,000 words, and 150 pictures. This tome covers every aspect of the sporting arms primer, from manufacture to use. It includes enough detail to give the interested reader a good working knowledge of how primers work and how primers interact with the gun, propellant, and cartridge. It covers safe primer handling and use. While necessarily in a somewhat limited manner, it explains why primer substitutions result in functionally new loads. It explains some of the reasons any such substitution can result in a more accurate, safe load, but sometimes a load that generates dangerous pressure or is otherwise unsafe for use. Every handloader who cares about safety should own and study this book. Every handloader interested in getting the best accuracy out of his handloading efforts needs the information provided in this book.
