Wouldn't that be fascinating?

One of the few shooting books I've round-filed over the years was one of Clay's. I can't remember the exact title (which says something in itself) but it was something like POPULAR SPORTING RIFLE CARTRIDGES, and was supposedly an in-depth look at 50 hunting rounds, with handloading information.

I was sent a review copy. After reading it I decided to add up the number of cartridges that Clay had used to shoot even one animal, based on the information provided in the book. It turned out he'd actually hunted with maybe a third of the rounds. And he hadn't actually fired a rifle chambered for a few of the cartridges.

Hey, come to think of it, this is a lot like some of the
hunting experience we read about on the Internet!
