    He shot every one of the rifles that bear his stamp. Interesting story about his time there in "Hell, I Was There"

    My favorite Old Timers are the three blade Stockmans and the two bladed Trapper. Uncle Henry's were good but a little more money for the warranty.

    Learned the most from Ron Terrell, he was on staff at G&A in the 70's. Still writes some freelance here and there. He taught me more about shooting and the outdoors than any other person. Of course, I'm fortunate enough to just call him Grandpa...

    Felix......
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Earl Narimores reloading books were next best to Phil Sharpes. Skeeter was always my favorite.
