Re-reading old copies of the “Sixgunner”

Most late about hunting with the .454 (FA) and .17 HMR (Contender). I have like arms and found some useful loading and ammo info in the old issue. A 14” .17 mimics the trajectory of my .378 GNR to around 250 yds. for practice (if no wind).

As sometimes it has a young lady used as a model with firearm. “Tammy” as JD refers to her. Is that his daughter or an employee, or both? I was just curious. She always seemed very credible and pretty to boot. I hear J.D is 89 yr. old now.

A lifetime ago…
