The shotgun would have been no use without its cartridges. Much has
already been written about the histories of shotguns but very
little about the cartridges themselves. This comprehensive work has
been produced to help to rectify this situation. Contained within
the book are alphabetical listings of more than 1100 firms and
their cartridges from the British Isles, including the Republic of
Ireland. These range in time from the first years of breech
loadings up until the mid 1950s. It covers the time when most
shotgun cartridges were closed by rolled-turnover and an over-shot
wad. It is a history of the cartridge and is well illustrated,
bringing back nostalgia to many older shooting folk. It is also a
history of the loading activities that once were common place in
many towns and cities across the British Isles. No shooter should
be without this book on his bookshelf and for the collector of
cartridges it is a must.
