Thank you, Teacher. Yours and others' advice on this thread are a goldmine of information for myself and all others to share.
I appreciate you caring enough to jump in and instruct.
You’re quite welcome. I can give you rundown on every cartridge made in the last hundred years but that won’t help you when you go to Walmart or Academy. I’m trying to simplify things for you.
If you’re interested in learning to shoot a handgun, I highly recommend shoot in International Defensive Pistol Association matches. For Rifle, it’s NRA High Power matches.
I understand how confusing cartridges are and if you are still interested go to Half Price Books and pick up a copy of “Cartridges of the World”. You can get by with a used copy a couple of years old. You don’t have to know about the latest and greatest of this year that may not be here next year.
