    DA Wallace has passed

    Some of the old timers here will remember DA Wallace, from Queensland. I got a message from his wife that David had passed after a long fight with cancer.
    I enjoyed talking with David on the phone, although I nearly needed a translator to understand the accent and vocabulary. He was a talented boat builder, bow maker, and all round outdoors man. We are diminished.
    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!

    Shoot, that's too bad. He was very knowledgeable and had a ton of fun projects.
