Book description
Is bigger better? You bet it is, when it's a big-bore revolver!
Big-Bore Revolvers offers a one-stop resource for the wheelgun
novice to the hardened veteran and everyone in between. With in-depth
coverage of commercial and wildcat calibers and their effectiveness,
theoretical and actual application of terminal ballistics and a
detailed look at today's available revolver platforms, this is the
most comprehensive book ever published on the topic.
Inside you'll find:
- A one-stop resource for everything you
want and need to know about big-bore revolvers
- Foreword
by Dick Casull, modern big-bore revolver pioneer and father of the
cartridge that carries his name--the famous .454 Casull
- A
comprehensive look at dozens of oversized cartridges, their
designers and ballistics
- Detailed descriptions of the
power-house revolvers that can handle big-bore loads--even if you
can't!
- More than 250 full-color photos, highlighting
cartridge comparisons, the revolvers themselves, and the big and
dangerous game that are no match for the devastating power of
these firearms.
- And much, much more!
With a special look at the pioneers behind the big-bore revolution,
and hunt stories as giant as the guns and cartridges themselves, this
is one book every handgun lover and hunter will want to read cover to
cover. Authored by big-bore revolver aficionado Max Prasac, and with
collaboration from John Parker and Jack Huntington, two of the most
authoritative names in big-bore revolver circles, this compendium of
facts, history and first-hand experiences behind the sights fills a
long-vacant niche.
Max Prasac is a member of Handgun Hunters International, life
member of the North American Hunt Club, and a Life Member of the
National Rifle Association. Max writes a column for Boar
Hunter, and Bear Hunting magazines, and is an occasional
contributor to the National Rifle Association (NRA) publications,
particularly American Hunter.
