My brother was looking to find out general information about gun calibers. Does anyone know of a good website or book that would explain the basics? Thanks Tim
 
Lots of folks here could help you, but you might want to be a little more specific in your request:

Firearm -- Rifle, pistol/revolver/shotgun?

Application -- hunting? targets? Hordes of crazed AlQueda terrorists at your doorstep? :p

I'm sure you'll find what you need here.. happy hunting!

Any reloading manual should be a good start. Check Lyman Reloading Handbook 47th Edition or Speer Reloading Manual #13. Either will provide basic data and list sources that can be used for more in depth info.
Take Care
 
Rifle calibers mostly. I'm a small game shotgun type so I don't know much about rifles. I guess he is just looking for info like the difference in size and use between a 30-06 and a .308 That type of thing. There is so many different sizes its hard to know what is what. Then you throw in the metric sizes its even worse. Thanks for th tips
 
Tim,

Have your brother look for a copy of The Rifles, The Cartridges, and The Game by Clay Harvey. Good resource on different cartridges, their applications, and the rifles that shoot them.
