I did not have access to gun rags in my youth. By the time I started looking for shooting mags, Jim Carmichael was writing a rifle cartridge column in Outdoor Life.

I read and studied Carmichael's words. I even clipped his monthly column and kept the pages in a binder for a couple years. Carmichael's are the only books I have purchased on this subject.

His writing influenced me to purchase a 22-250, a 25-06, a 264 Win, and eventually a 260 Rem.
