I have been reading Ned Roberts book online for the last couple of weeks. I don't know why I have never heard of him before now, I will order a copy of his book today. Quite right about not reinventing the wheel. He is a marvellous bridge between the days of yore and the modern age. I am not personally interested in shooting those heavy slug rifles, my limit is my Volunteer .451 with Rigby style rifling. Utterly amazing the groups shot with .38s and .45 at 40 rods. Interesting to see what one has learned over the years and to find a lot of it here in this book. Wish I had bought it 40 years ago, wonders of the internet !!
