Allen had a ton of relevant experience there's no doubt about that, but he had real trouble with anything that didn't agree with his experience. If you weren't shooting A-Frames or Partitions out of a Echols tuned Model 70, you might as well have been hunting with a club.

Anybody else notice MuleDeer's very thinly veiled reference to Allen Day in his Rifles & Woodsmoke column entitled "Sentiment" in Rifle #239? I'll eat my hat if paragraphs 2-4 aren't Allen Day.
