Looking for good long range shooting books. Thanks for any input.

1) Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting 2nd Edition by Bryan Litz - Litz was a rocket scientist aerospace engineer who works for Berger bullets. Probably the best book to start with. It is more expensive.

2)"Hunter's Guide to Long-Range Shooting" Book by Wayne van Zwoll - More dated but its less technical. You can find this one anywhere.

3) Accurate Rifle by Warren Page. It is dated but its a heck of a book to get going on accuracy.

4) The book of the rifle by Jim Carmichel. Its a bit dated but its the best book to start the process with if you buy it cheap and used on amazon.

5) Make it Accurate by Craig Boddington- This is a good book about squeezing accuracy out of a sporter.

6) Berger Bullets Reloading Manual 1st Edition- About the best reloading book to start with.

7) 22CAL Varmit Rifles by Charles Landis. Its an older book but it has a lot of good info.

Best,
Thomas

50 Caliber Sniper Course by Dean Michaelis (not limited to 50 cal. BTW).

The History of Sniping and Sharpshooting--book's loaned out don't have the author.

Varmint Hunter's Odyssey by Steve Hanson.

Precision Shooting at 1000 Yds. compilation of many authors if it's available anymore.

Take a look at the five volume set "Death From Afar" a history of Marine Sniping and much more.

Thanks. I am going to get Applied Balistics first. I consider myself a middle of the road reloader and am looking to improve. I find myself chasing a better grouping.... Better brass, primers, bullets...etc. But I feel like I need to get a better handle on the basics to get to the next level.
