Mike,
It is said that Ken Waters fashioned his writing after that of Colonel Townsend Whelen. So, it's probable that when you read Waters, you're viewing Whelen through the filter of Ken's mind. Both were fine writers.
Yeah, Keith gradually became behind the times as far as cartridges are concerned. But his choices were based on field experience gained from the not-so-good bullets of the 30s and 40s. He was simply reporting what worked for him ... but the world of gun stuff moved way beyond that point.
