though i haven't seen any of his handgun articles for quite some time, i've got to vote Ross Seyfried--for 3 reasons:


1. he was very instrumental in bringing the "ultra big bores" to the fore-front, spicing the articles with a decent amount of technical info, and those articles were accompanied by a few demonstrative photos that made nimrod handgunners salivate;


2. he did some challenging hunting with those sledgehammer revolver rigs;


3. he was a world class handgun competitor.



pretty fine resume.........................


all learning is like a funnel:
however, contrary to popular thought, one begins with the the narrow end.
the more you progress, the more it expands into greater discovery--and the less of an audience you will have...

Elmer Keith

I've read and like most of what those who have been doing for 35 years, but every one of them have nothing to write about without Elmer Keith.

FWIW, even the WFN killing and maximized powder capacity design goes back to an Elmer Keith Belding & Mull mould 454260, 429260 and 429280 in the 1920's.

One could read and use most loads from 1955's Sixguns and still be fully capable of North American handgunning, even if you ditched the magnum stuff.

Max is the Whitworth dude on here that likes to get into dick measuring contests with other guys shooting rifle cartridges in revolvers. Bfr is his understudy.



Exactly what rifle cartridge?

I think it's guilt by association. BFR is always talking about you so folks assume you're crazy too.

I've never seen Max get crazy. In fact, he seems to show a lot of restraint with BFR.

That was a real cheap shot and not true either. Par for the course for you though. I guess you don't actually pay attention too much.

He's my favorite all time. I still use his load with 38 special brass with the Lyman 358156 HP seated out with 2400 in my Model 19 and at regular length in 357 cases.

Brian Pearce and Ross Seifried are my favorites of current writers.

480, 500, 454 Casull=rifle cartridges. IOW, a joke.

Gosh, I guess it was a cheap-shot. Now quit worrying so much and go douche. Your presence is stinkin' the joint up.

Really? I guess I got carried away. Apologies to all involved, especially some douche bag who is here so much she's posted 19 times. Again, my sincerest apologies ma'am.

I wish Taffin would write an article about a Perfect Packing Pistol.

Ross Seyfried, John Taffin, and Skeeter Skelton. They were who I was reading when I was coming up to speed on handgun hunting. They created, and fanned the flames, of my addiction.

For a while, the best information was coming from Jim Wilson, Dick Metcalf, and Layne Simpson ... not necessarily great writing but they each wrote a few articles I was able to find value or at least inspiration (which generally cost me money) in.

Today, Brian Pearce.

So far I have not read any of Max's work.

I've read cereal boxes more interesting than those two.

It was a cheap shot. Max has agreed with my findings, done by hard work. Yet he is his own man too.
I had issues with CraigC too for a while. He is a good man so don't run him down either. You need to know these guys.
I don't like poor comments about Max either. JWP and I have had a hard time but you don't know him either.
Yes, some older writers were great but things are different today with calibers never thought of. It takes more thinking and ability to handle them.
To say bad is just an indication of lack of knowledge, jealousy or just plain stupid.
Max has brought the big bore to life like no other. Those dead guys could not handle what we shoot now.

You just moved up to #1 in my book.

I wish you'd post more often.
