Field and Stream. I will go along with a couple of them like the WSMs and the 30 carbine but for the most part he is a know nothing third rate gun writer who should be writing obituaries for the Podunk Gazette.
They used to have some really good writers.

For several years now I just can't seem to connect with many of them. Perhaps it's because I have no beard?! The only place I read it is at Dr. Offices where I see it as most welcome, compared to Golf Digest and People Magazine. However sometimes Southern Living gives it a run for it's money, Ditto Better Homes and Gardens. LOL
I agree. Other than WSMs and 30 carbine,

had a new Ruger #1 in 378 WBY we had built that he wanted to try out. The factory cartridge was loaded way too hot for the bullet. It had a 270 grain soft point and it literally blew up on the shoulders of animals as small as Common Reedbuck which is the size of a whitetail deer. He shot a Blue Wildebeest 6 or 7 times and all it did was make a big wound maybe 4" across on the hide and penetrated maybe 2". Everything he shot had to be shot several times and in every instance the bullet was traveling way too fast and blew up on impact. So I guess I would be prone to agree with the gun writer on the 378 Wby's effectiveness.
