With Gun Gack III incorporating material from the Fire, and usefully so. I suggest to Eileen Clarke that she edit and publish Selections from the Campfire. Maybe with John's help in selecting but strictly or mostly other people's works with the last word to Mr. Barness where he wants it. This assumes the publication rights/ copyrights belong to Rick and can be assigned - maybe they don't.
Maybe some sticky pointers and indices to such topics as the Ken Waters / Bob Hagel differences on measuring case expansion with comments by Ken Howell. Denton has a great post on the Highroad on the general subject too. Mr. Oehler's tales of clammy hands and a load that is simultaneously subsonic and supersonic deserve a wider view too..
I tend to get better results using Google/Bing for searching the Campfire than I do guessing whether what I am looking for was dated this year, last year or some years ago.

Clark,
That's an interesting idea. Unfortunately Eileen may have too little time to edit and publish such a book. Aside from running riflesandrecipes.com (which was her idea, and became her company) she writes regularly for both a few paper and Internet magazines, and publishes a game cookbook every other year--which involves working up at least 100 recipes, taking photos, laying it out, etc.
Rick does have the copyright for the Campfire--which is why I called him after coming up with the Q&A idea for GG3. We talked at length, and decided it was a win-win for both 24hourcampfire.com and riflesandrecipes.com.
I also tend to get better search results with Google/Bing.

Unfortunately, after the original article appeared, somebody wanted my B-29 more than I did--and had the checkbook to prove it. So I no longer have a "test platform" for all the new powders which have appeared, and vast number of new .29-caliber bullets.

I'm sure you could get a gun rag editor and a gunsmith to foot the bill for such an interesting article. It's certain to take the world by storm.🙄😁
