You can order the book from him here: http://www.appliedballisticsllc.com/index_files/Book.htm
Even if you have no interest in the theory, Brian has done something invaluable for the shooting world. He has done real world testing on hundreds of different bullets under different conditions and velocities; and analyzed, tabulated, and published the results in this book.
If you want to know what your bullets are REALLY doing (vs. what their manufacturers claim they might be doing) you need this book.
