SwiftShotKen Waters Pet Loads and getting screwed
I recently order this book from Amazon used. I recieved it today volume 2 no volume 1 at all. This book starts on page 313 at 30-06 and up. I am kind of pissed I got a great deal but come on the description states 100 calibers. No book starts on page 313. I just want your guys input hell my brother has the book first edition and it isnt broken up into volumes. I looked you cant even order it as seperate volumes so I am thinking I got screwed. I have emailed the seller we shall see what he says.

SSTI have the First Edition, which contains 1040 pages and has a couple hundred cartridge entries, including updates and a couple of articles. Just like yours, the 30-06 starts on page 313. Since most buyers would have no idea how many entries the complete book lists, I believe the advertisement you bought was deceptive.

There should be volumes one and two.

schromfWell at least you got the best half, unless your looking for the 7mm stuff.

Thats a great reloaders resource, Ken was a very methodical reloader and I have used my volumes for years as starting points.
My only bitch with the Waters books is I wish he had worked up data on a few more cartridges. Noteably missing are 6.5x55, 9.3x62, 416 Rigby, and 404 Jeff. You will also play hell finding some of the old discontinued powders.
