Although the book is very informative, the author is neither a scientist or an engineer and it shows. I believe the formulas and data are correct but the author clearly does not understand the underlying physics of the subject.
For someone wanting to know more about the subject this is the book for you. Just ignore the few parts where he goes beyond his research and tries to explain how the physics works. You don't need to know that to understand the subject anyway.
As other reviews have stated, the standard of writing is poor and a fair amount of tolerance is required. It is also written from a very American viewpoint

OK, so the grammar isn't perfect and there are some dodgy spellings in there. I don't know enough about the subject to commment on the accuracy of his calculations but I just wanted to know more about ballistics and, for that purpose, this book is just excellent. From an explanation of ballistic gyroscopics to a comparison of the amount of recoil from different rounds, from maximum range to bullet design, from velocity to rifling and wind deflection. It's all in there and it's all interesting. It's the sort of book you can pick up in a spare moment and learn something to irritate your shooting colleagues with. It depends on your level of knowledge and how techie you want to get - I've been shooting for thirty odd years and found lots of interesting stuff to read and learn.
Format:Paperback
I used this book for my ballistics course at uni and it really helped. It's a wonderful book. Even if it's only for a good read it's interesting.
