John,
My apologies for incorrect internet interpretation.(The dreaded iii Factor)
My opinions were set at the point of firstly discovering JO'C meaning were found to lean towards his view, secondly, you cannot be a "learned" or "well read" reader for something that is not available to read. We are after all, talking pre computer and internet stage.
And again, Because my experience with handloading and cartridges measure better by the wheel barrow load in consumables, it is an incorrect assumption to assume I am inflexible to learn after any point.
The internet teaches me both the value and detriments associated with was we assume, is communication.
John
Sounds fair, but by your explanation JOC had some degree of influence if only to add validation to your opinions.
Anyway just take a note from my playbook and error on the side of modesty. Such a tactic has served me well and I would bet not more than half the members here think I am a pompous ass.
Burns you really ought to write a book perhaps named " Astonishing Tales of Bedding Blocks...."
If anyone could write that book it would be me.
John
Let me clarify and then I'll drop it.
1. I never heard on O'Connor until that G& A publication after his death.
2. Most of the cartidges in that publication, I had already used.
3. I had formed some opinion of them through that first hand experience.
4. By coincidence, I read that he had similar views to mine based on his experience.
It is as simple as that and there was no pomposity stated or implied by myself though we are back that that internet interpretation again.
JW
