Entries for the book giveaways have provided some great comments about the guns we know and love, and even more fun are some of the responses we get from the winners of the books. The winner last week had this to say (used with permission):
“Thank you very much. I have not won anything since I won tickets to an NFL game. The tickets arrived the day after the game.”
It seems we all have a story to tell about winning (or not). In my case, while everyone around me seems to win a nice gun at the various banquets we attend, I somehow always end up with yet another new cooler for my collection.
This week, we'll give away a copy of the recently-released 9th edition of The ABCs of Reloading, edited by C. Rodney James.
To enter, submit a comment below and answer the question, “What's the last thing you won?” Or, as always, you can simply say you'd like to win the book.
Entries will be accepted until midnight Sunday (Oct. 2), and we’ll announce the winner on Monday (Oct. 3).
Good luck!

Last year I went on a quilt maker’s “shop hop” with my wife, and won the major Goodie basket door prize. I don’t sew, but do help her with building quilts.
Well I finally got logged on if that counts for winning something. The most memorial thing I can remember winning was a new mossberg .22 rifle about 44 years ago when I was 15 or 16. I won it selling magazines and it RODE HOME with me from school on the bus. Yes it was planet Earth In the US of A, Taylorsville, Mississippi to be more precise.
I do reloading and when ever I change to a new caliber I seem to need a reloading book for the proper charge. I think this book would be a great help.
I do mostly woodworking and shooting pistols and revolvers.
We play the lottery every week and win about 1 1/100 of what we pay to play. Things should be looking up for us soon.
