Varmint Rifles and Cartridges, Author: Charles T. Richards, English, 160-Page. A thorough guide, Varmint Rifles and Cartridges provides detailed information about getting started in varmint hunting, selecting the great rifles for the job and choosing your cartridges and other components. The text is supplemented by more than one hundred detailed photographs that illustrate the various types of rifles and cartridges available for varmint hunters. Varmint Rifles and Cartridges presents information about the history of varmint hunting and how those original rifles differ from the most popular rifles and cartridges available for varmint hunters on the market today. Each chapter of the book is dedicated to a particular cartridge, including the 0.204 Ruger, 0.223 Remington, 0.22 Swift, 0.243 Winchester, 0.257 Roberts. At the end of each chapter, author C. T. Richards demonstrates how each cartridge and rifle performs through the results of range tests and trajectory tests he conducted himself. A varmint hunter since the 1950s, Richards is more than qualified to grade these products and offer advice on varmint hunting in general. The content of Varmint Rifles and Cartridges will appeal to readers considering varmint hunting for the first time, as well those who have previously acquired some experience in using these tools.
