There's an asking price and a selling price

[WILCO]

Get the 4th edition first as it's updated with newer powders and such. Wouldn't hurt to add the 3rd to the library if you're already up to speed.

An excellent book that you will be referring to for many years.

Pricey, though.

[williamwaco]

The fourth is updated considerably but the third is more interesting reading -

LOTS of history. I like that.

". . . but the third is more interesting reading"

Especially Dennis Marshall's metallurgy article.

I've had mine for 30 years. Good reference for Cast Booliteers

invalueable book ,, get it ,you will be flicking through the leaves of that book most of your waking moments.
tons of great cast data and some good articles and informative infomation.
i believe it's a must have ref book. :twisted::coffee::twisted:

I have had the Third Edition since they came out. Arguably the best cast bullet handbook, by anyone, EVER!

In fact, I have nearly worn mine out. When they announced the 4th Edition, I bought a new 3rd Edition along with pre-ordering the 4th Edition. I am glad that I did. The 3rd Edition is timeless, while the 4th Edition has some new powders useful to me along with some other manufacturers bullets - that's a new wrinkle and very useful.

Get both, you will NOT be sorry.

I have the 1st, 2nd and 3rd editions. ALL of them are valuable. Anything over $20.00 for a new copy seems very steep. Mine was bought in 1979 and still has the $7.99 price tag.

While I don;t have the fourth edition yet, I will someday. But there's no way I'd pass up the older editions.

If you plan on casting boolits, get one. I personally prefer the 3rd Edition (seems a bit more informative to those tha are new to cast and don't shoot black powder cartridge competition), but the 4th does have newer powder and other than lyman boolit load data.

+1. Look for a better price tho.

[metweezer]

I think I will purchase a new one on Ebay. I can get one for 16.00.

[Bret4207]

Better check shipping costs on Ebay. That Midway link has them for $15.99 too, but there's shipping.

Bret,
Shipping is 6.00 for priority mail. Midway doesn't seem to have the book in stock (according to the link) and they charge 3.00 minimum fee if the order is less than 25.00 or so (plus shipping). Steve
