Notes: These references do not include the multitude of cartridge reloading
manuals put out by manufacturers of amunition and reloading components
(bullets, powders, primers, brass, ect.). All of these present LOTs of
information on cartridge dimensions and other usefull information.  The
researcher may also find of interest the bimonthly (at least it was the last
time I held a memmbership in 1989) publication CARTRIDGES. It is the official
journal of the International Cartridge Collectors Association, Inc.  The
addresss at that time to contact for back issues was:  Madeline Bruemer, 3886
Dawley Road, ravenna, Ohio  44299. There are also a multitude of article on
cartridge headstam identification in such magazines and the National Rifleman
and Guns and Ammo. For more research thrills and chills, check out
