    That is a shame. Never had the pleasure of meeting him, but always admired his work.

    Very Sad - No replacing him - He does live on though, through his work and videos , And countless ones he generously shared his knowledge with. We are diminished
    Being human is not for sissies.

    Sad to hear he's gone. He was my broker's brother in law.
    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!

    I saw that on one of my FB feeds - truly a great gunmaker in the old tradition.

    Always good to leave a bit of yourself behind especially the good stuff.
