.338-06 - Definitely Steve Timm's article.
7mm-08 - Haviland - I'd already been using it, but his writings about his boys taking elk always provided a little reassurance about its abilities.
Honorable mention to Finn. Everything he wrote about made me want to try it.

It is possible, though I am not conscious of it.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

About 10 years ago.....6.5CM......becuase unbiased and nonderanged people like John Barsness who actually know WTH their doing presented the facts, and they were and correct, and remain so.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I was lusting for a 7mm STW after reading Mr. Simpson’s articles and found a beater 7mm Weatherby at Marks Outdoors in Vestavia Hills, AL annual Sanford & Son gun sale to rechamber to STW. I thought I should shoot it to check the barrel before spending money on it. It shot great and factory ballistics were listed just a fuzz less than the STW. I took it to a well known gunsmith in Lynwood, WA and he was very opinionated against building STW rifles, so I scrapped the project and went on to kill several deer and elk with the MK V. I still have it and even acquired a second one. Three more Weatherby’s later, the saga continued…

A model 12R savage in 22-250. Read articles about the cartridge and gun. I purchased one and it was as good as they claimed. Still have the gun but with a 6br barrel. Shoots great. Edk

The .270 Win based on Jack O'Connor's writings as well as the 257 Roberts. The 6.5 PRC from a magazine article.

7 STW - Layne Simpson
Right after the article came out, I sent my left hand 7mm Weatherby off to be rechambered. It came back all dikked up, so I rebarreled it with a Lilja in 7 STW. Still shot like crap. Had it pillar bedded by KDF. Still shot like crap. Sold it at huge loss. I still have a Rem 700 L/H SS in 7 STW as well as a Sako 75 SS, wood stock.

Run it up, until you blow it up, then back it down a bit.

Your question is interesting.
Every cartridge I have wanted was the result of someone writing about it or telling me about it.

Biggest one for me was the 308 norma magnum with many more like 7mm stw ,the linebaughs both 475 then 500 257 Roberts plus others but one that I ran accross because ammo was always available during the recent shortage made me look up and read about then decided I needed to have a rebore done to the trusty 9.3x62
Writers cost me like many others alot of money but no regrets
