Gun Digest has been publishing the Cartridges of the World since 1965, and during that time we've seen a lot of cartridges come and go. While this newest and most comprehensive 13th edition, just like its predecessors, contains information on many rounds that are no longer in production, we made room for new rounds moving many esoteric, odd and obsolete rounds to a bonus CD, which is included with the book.
In this completely revised and updated 13th edition, you also get:
- 55 all-new factory manufactured and wildcat cartridge listings, complete with technical drawings
- Updated resource information throughout
- Fully updated specifications and references
Plus, a special color section includes essays by three of the industries leading writers with crucial, “state of the union” information.

Will be traveling to Alaska for the holidays and will have a great New years with my granddaughter and son and daughter-in-law. Have a great New Years.
I am still new to reloading, and I am interested in everything firearms related. I would love to win this book.
I am a veteran of the US Marine Infantry, and as such, I am familiar with the cartidges we used with our issued firearms. I am, however, not familiar with other cartidges. My interest has been sparked, however, now that I am using different handguns and go shooting with other folks. I am familiar with automatics, but have never used a revolver and don’t know much about revolver ammo. My family has also developed an interest in hunting, but we don’t know much about the various calibers of ammunition for hunting (what caliber is a good match for what game, etc.). My teenage son has also has an interest in gunsmithing and is ALWAYS telling me about new guns, etc. Having this book would be a great thing for my whole family, would be something that my son and I could really dig into together.
I have been reloading for a few years, and go shooting whenever possible. I am amazed at how often I learn about another caliber/firearm that I never heard of, and would love to win this book. I found an excellent resource by hanging out with a bunch of older retired military fellows that are always willing to share some of their experiences.
Just getting started gunsmithing and reloading, so I’m trying to build up my knowledge base as much as possible.
I collect all things guns and ammo related this would make a great addition to my collection
I’ve been hunting for about 20 yrs. All 5 of my boys have been out with me. We all love to shoot! I just started a gunsmith course and collecting references. THIS WOULD BE AN AWESOME ADDITION!
I am a reloader, a collector, and a connoisseur of all things firearms related, This book would be a very valuable addition to my library. I would love to win this.
This information could come in very handy, and a book (information) that I would really like to win and own.
I would like to win also. The book would be a great reference for me. I cast and reload for different handguns from 25acp to 50 Desert Eagle.
I also would like to win.
shooter, reloader and all around gun nut.
I own the previous edition and am the Senior Sales Rep for a firearms manufacturer. I also own my own firearms business and am a competitive shooter. My priorities are God, family, and firearms in that order.
I would love to win!!
This publication I’m sure will be of the best quality as are all your books.
I’m new to reloading and would like to get a copy of this book…
I remember reloading many cartridges as a kid back and my Dad having a Remington reloading digest. Great to have that experience & memory.
I first saw a copy of Remington’s cartridge catalog when I was 12 y o, in the 60’s. I love how many ways you can combine bullet, powder, cartridge & primer. I am a connoisseur.
We used this book almost every day when I worked at one of the big box gun stores. A great reference.
I’m not just a gun nut; I’m a ballistics nut. I own and have thoroughly studied the previous editions of Cartridges of the World, as well as all of the similar books on cartridges and ballistics. I use QuickLOAD and QuickDESIGN software to design more efficient cartridges. My best effort so far is very similar to the 6.5mm Creedmore.
I build custom guns and this would help people choose a caliber.
I’ve got all twelve editions. For some reason, #6 has always been my favorite, perhaps because it was my first. Will #13 be lucky for me?
I’ve been around guns since i was a kid with my grandpa and my uncle I love learning about guns and cartridges along with load data and ft lbs in guns because Its just something i really love to do and its knowledge that ill have for the future if i ever get into reloading really want and need this book got a lot of years to learn
I’m a reloader and reload for a variety of guns and would like to have the latest info on the new cartridges, thanks.
I’m a newer gunsmith and reloader, and want to get my hands on all information I can.
I am 49 and have been collecting cartridges since I was 8. I have one of these books but my edition is over 20 years old. It would be great to win a new edition. Thanks
I just like to shoot and you got to have the right cartridge.
Shoot the best, forget the rest!
When it’s cheap, a jam will make you weep!
Love to shoot and reload to shoot even more. Looks like a good book to have in my library. Hope to win
I haven’t had a copy of this in over 30 years. I think it would be great to get another copy. So, yes, I would very much like to win it.
I reload rifle & handgun cartridges & would very much appreciate this book.
I am a retired law enforcement officer, weapons instructor, avid hunter and reloader. I am passing on my love of all things firearms to my 3 grandchildren and this would be a great book to spend time with them showing them all the different cartridges that are out there.
Reloader, user, connoisseur, maybe I should work on being a poet too.
Enter me in for a copy, I’d love one.
I collect old ammunition and have been facinated with them from an early age. I still have old cartidges that I found when I was 8 at my Grandfathers house in the country, up on the top shelf in the kitchen. I’m 66 now and still enjoy researching with my old Cartidges of the World books. Keep up the good work.
I’m just simply a connoisseur of all things firearms!
I’m a cartridge collector owning the 11th edition of Cartridges of the World. It’s addictive highlighting the various cartridges in the book as I collect them. Love to have the 13th for the newest cartridges out there.
I am a reloader for many years and anytime I see something like this I get real interested. Thanks for the chance to win one
My son and I started collecting cartridges not to long ago as I have a disability and we can do this together. I would love to be blessed with this book to help us identify some cartridges given to us from an older gentlemen.
I am a guru of all cartridges. I love to read about ammo and especially about obsolete and rarely used ammo.
I am a reloader and I would like to win this book.
I am a long time reloader who could really use some help with some of the less common stuff.
I am a reloader and I like the older guns andit would be nice to have a book that tells about current ammunition but also outlines available ammo (brass) and that ammo that cannot be converted from other brass and is totally obsolete.
Really enjoy researching/studying various types of cartridges, and their history. Also done a bit of reloading over many years. Right now trying to figure how much pressure my Rem. Model 14 can take and if it can be re-barreled/modified to handle something other than the .25 Rem. Would love to ad this new edition to my library.
In my country (Hungary) it is very difficult to get quality information about guns, ammunition and related issues. I am a hunter, and would like to start reloading soon, so this book would be a great asset for me.
I’m a reloader so I’m very interested in the various cartridges that are available.
Thanks for the opportunity.
I would like to learn to reload so I can make custom loads. Thanks, The AR book I bought is very helpful.
A solid resource and the bonus CD is a great “go to” source as well!
I just started reloading a couple years ago at age 68. This book would really help an old guy learn more!!
That would go great on my reloading bench and I’m sure be very useful too.
