RowdyYates: I think you answered your own question as to why the person you identify as Ralph Lehrmeyer is GONE - its because of the horrifically stupid mistake he made regarding the lethality of the 204 Ruger cartridge!
You just can't employ people that stupid and be successful anymore.
I indeed read the whole issue of Predator Xtreme in question (December 2,001) finishing it just yesterday.
I agree - I don't think I will be subscribing to it any time soon. I get my issues from a friend and fellow Varminter who does subscribe.
I am perhaps the worlds most enthusiastic 17 HMR user/supporter - but even I had to roll my eyes at that poorly written article and especially the portions you highlight.
Now, I don't expect perfection from any form of media that I want to be entertained by but I think I will stick with "The Varmint Hunter Magazine" for now.
Hold into the wind
