This description by Nathaniel F. from the Firearmsblog.com or "TFB"
The subject of our first Small Caliber Book Review is the epochal tome A History of Modern US Military Small Arms Ammunition, Vol. I: 1880-1939 by F. W. Hackley, W. H. Woodin, and E. L. Scranton. This is a truly significant piece of research, and should be considered authoritative on the subject it covers. It is relevant to both ammunition researchers and collectors alike, and covers as exhaustive a catalog of US small arms ammunition as was most likely possible at the time of its publication. Inside, the reader will find a virtually encyclopedic coverage of cartridges like 6mm Lee Navy, .276 Pedersen, and of course more common calibers like .30-06 and .45 ACP. Experimental cartridges such as American squeezebore ammunition, and military .22 caliber experimentals from the 19th century are also included, though information on these is much more fragmentary.
