You can find more, and better, information about individual cartridges online for free, if you know what cartridge you are interested in. Otherwise, a far better choice would be Cartridges of the World: 10th Edition, Revised and Expanded, which provides excellent information on current and outdated rifle and handgun cartridges, however it does not have anything on the slew of new short and ultra short rifle cartridges which have recently come on the market. In any case, you can research those online, and it would be wise to question how long any of these will stay in production; you don't want to get stuck with a rifle that requires ammunition that is no longer available, or that you can't find locally when you are off somewhere hunting. As far as I can see, this book only gives you extremely brief, superficial information on each cartridge, and for someone new to the shooting sports, maybe it would provide for a starting point for further research, but I'm certain that years from now you will come to realize that most of what's out there on guns and cartridges is baloney aimed strictly at marketing and selling. The most significant change in ammunition in recent years is the technological advances made in bullets (the actual projectile of the cartridge), which has increased the effeciency and lethality of ammunition, and learning something about bullets is well worth the effort. I have recommended and earlier edition of Cartridges Of The World because I actually own it and have read it to a dog-eared state, and I have noted some complaints of the newest edition.
