I'm on track. No need to meander.
Just keep in mind that Ken is a true classic.
If you Guys miss it's your loss.

You're dumb as ever.
What happens when someone reads this forum and sets up a fake email account to get your CC number?
The Nigerians thank you for your ignorance.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

So, all baiting of Ye Olde WET aside, has anybody heard from Ken Howell or have any info as to his well being? While I don't agree with everything he ever said (hell, I don't agree with anybody all the time), I would be saddened to hear of Mr. Howell's misfortune.

While I don't agree with everything he ever said (hell, I don't agree with anybody all the time), I would be saddened to hear of Mr. Howell's misfortune. While I think my reluctance to lay down and accept my allotted verbal lashings were seen as a sign of impertinence by Ken, I certainly never bode any ill intent towards him. I do hope he finds himself in good spirits.

Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

I have your phenomenal book one "Designing and Forming Custom cartridges", without doubt a classic that every serious person in the industry should have.
I have the same book as well. Can't recall any portion of the book that deals with the actuall work involved or any examples of specific cartridges being formed into others. Basically a volume of cartridge drawings Coffee table reading material at best. Certainly not a reference book.

Basically a volume of cartridge drawings Coffee table reading material at best. Certainly not a reference book. Well, I have a .338 Howell (338-280 30-degree improved), Miles Patton has a .280 Howell and Rio7 has a .450 Howell--all of which Ken had built. Those are just the ones that I have seen and handled, personally. I am sure that there are others out there, as well. I don't have a copy of Ken's book and I would have really liked to have one for reference while cooking up the first hand loads for my rifle.
