About Round Ball to Rimfire Pt 2
Round Ball to Rimfire, Part Two: Federal Breechloading Carbines and Rifles is the second volume of Dean S. Thomas’s multi-volume encyclopedia of Civil War bullets and cartridges, published by Thomas Publications of Gettysburg in 2002. The Civil War was the first American conflict in which breechloading carbines and rifles were issued in large numbers, especially to Union cavalry, and that variety produced a bewildering range of cartridges, from paper and linen loads to early metallic rounds.
This 528-page, 8.5 by 11 inch hardcover fully covers Federal carbine and rifle ammunition, with detailed information on the patents, designers and manufacturers of the Federal breechloaders and their cartridges. For collectors, relic hunters and students of Civil War cavalry arms, it is a key reference for identifying carbine and rifle cartridges recovered from battlefields and camps.
