It occurs to me that Jack and John B were/are quite similar in their beliefs about cartridges and velocities. Neither man was (or is) a stranger to magnums or big bores. Yet both prefer(ed) cartridges of more modest power for the most part. Yes Jack used the 416 in Africa and the 375 on Brown bears but his favorite cartridges (in his day) are quite similar to the favored cartrdges of Mr. J.B.
I'b be not at all surprised if 10-20 years from now, J.B. is sort of sharing a podium with Jack (and a select few others) as one of the very greatest gun writers of our time.
Common sense seems to have a timeless appeal.
