couldn't stand him. I sat down with him at either the SHOT show or the SCI show way back and we talked about TCs and handgun hunting. He was a bit bitter at the time because TC had gone with Ugalde's 6mm TCU rather than his 6mm/223. He said his was the first one but they went with Ugalde's version as they did with the 7mm TCU (Thompson Center Ugalde).

I found it unusual that he didn't believe in handgun hunting big critters. He seemed to think a cow elk was about the limit one should hunt with a handgun and then only with the 357 Herrett. I didn't argue with him as the largest I had taken at the time were large boar and a gazillion whitetail deer. So what did I know. Apparently Bob had a drinking problem and it wasn't long after that that he passed away from other complications. I didn't know anyone that knew the whole story and it wasn't any of my business anyway. But I really enjoyed his writings. He wrote in a manner where the newest novice in handgun hunting could understand. And I liked that.
