"For this work my goal was to bring as much information on the .600 nitro express rifles and ammunition together as well as supply new information and photos of these magnificent rifles. I did not want to rehash details of the maker's history or dive into specific patents, action particulars, etc., because this has already been done by those far more knowledgeable than I on those subjects." Chapters include: A new cartridge and a few that used it; Bullets, boxes, headstamps, and original ballistics; The makers and their rifles - introduction; Army and Navy; churchill; Evans; Greener; Hollan and Holland; Jeffery; Lancaster; Lang; MacNaughton; Osborne; Purdey; Rodda; St. Entienne; Webley and Scott; Westley Richards; Wilkes; Wilkinson; The .600 today; A selection of contemporary .600 nitro express rifles; Data base of vintage and contemporary .600 caliber rifles.
