I always felt I missed out on a Blackhawk in the Max. It seems like such a perfect hunting cartridge for a sixgun.
I enjoyed Milek back in the day and built a .30 Herrett -- my first wildcat -- exactly like his. But he sure had his blind spots, e.g., "There are some hunters, I am sorry to say, who insist that the .45 Colt is a superb game cartridge without being souped up."
Seems to me Rick Jamison had a lot to say about the Max, but I can't recall what he said!
