The time-honored tradition of “wildcatting” has led to some of today’s most popular factory offerings.
Approaching any wildcat concept, though, requires a thorough understanding of cartridge design and safety, and Fred Zeglin’s Reloaders Handbook Of Wildcat Cartridge Design provides a comprehensive overview of the process.
Zeglin has a thorough background in the wildcat world after spending more than 30 years building custom rifles and having written seven books on wildcat concepts.
Presented in 25 chapters, the 488-page work provides details on what makes a wildcat cartridge, as well as historical background on the science of wildcatting.
Design principles, pressure considerations, and testing and loading tips are shared, as are details on current-day wildcats and current wildcatters.
MSRP is $65. For more information, visit gundigeststore.com.
