Brand New fourth Edition! I believe that the publication date is 2024 but it is not indicated in the book, only the first edition date of 1996. 434 pages. 146 more pages than the third edition. Hardcover with a dust jacket. THere is also a silk marking ribbon. There are some color photographs. This book will appeal to a variety of firearms enthusiasts. Firstly, of course, are those who own or use double rifles. However, some shooters with merely just an interest in double rifles (loads, ballistics and how they work) will also find this refernce invaluable. In this revised fourth edition, the load data section has been greatly expanded, providing load data for most nitro double rifle cartridges. The pressure tests have also been expanded and all the chapters updated. The chapter on paradox guns also now includes information on how they perform as shotguns. This section directly covers bore rifles and the larger paradox guns. Secondly, shooters who are also interested in loading large cartridges in both smokeless and black powder form will benefit from this reference. Those loading large British cartridges, even for single shot or magazine rifles will consequently find it of particular interest. Thirdly, those interested in internal ballistics will find the pressure tests done at the Birmingham Proof House and the Kynamco factory particularly useful and valuable. Lastly, this book contains useful reference information. There are dimensional tables, lists of component suppliers, extracts from old cartridge catalogues and powder burning rate charts. An excellent and very comprehensive reference. Seller Inventory # 6401
