Kinda vintage -- in a way, question

[Alan Warner]

Ken Howell in 95 published Custom Cartridges and wrote about volume two being in the works.
Anyone know if volume two ever made it to the printer?? I have signed copy #400 of vol. one and would like vol. 2 if it exists.
A handy reference source for odd ball shit \
Thanks
Alan

Looks like he died shortly after that book was published so I don't think there was a volume 2

If you mean this book, he published in 1995. He had a stroke shortly after and tried to 'come back' but never finished the second book.

Spendy book if you can find a copy! They were $50 back in 1995 when that bought you a lot of book!

Cheers,

Sirhr

Thanks Packrat,
I thought that was the case but memory was foggy. I called Joe, but his memory is worse than mine.
Get calls to "make" this or that of old cartridges and explain we only remake from existing parent brass via the dies we make. After wildcatting, it's ready to win matches.
Always looking to expand my resource library..
Mr Howell was a great guy to talk with. I was saddened to hear he had passed.
I might try turning up some experimental stuff if I could find 260 In round stock form at full hard. Only source I've found is from India but they have no distribution here.
