So I'm looking at picking up some gun books to expand my knowledge. The library and used book stores near me don't really have much on guns except political stuff. I'm looking for practical books about maintaining, building, shooting, and reloading.
I have a Lee's reloading manual for that, which is great for the recipes, but I'd like to pick up a book that covers the basics in greater depth/breadth.
I'd like to also get a book or books that teaches:
1. Proper techniques for firing rifles, pistols, and shotguns, in a variety of activities.
2. How to properly maintain a firearm
3. Possibly, how to "smith", modify, or even create firearms.
4. Explanation of ballistics and intended purposes of a wide range of cartridges and loads.
What are some of your picks that would fit these in some way?
