Hi All: I hoped you enjoyed the article on the Home Page. Even though there is another installment coming soon with more load data (and hunt  ) results, I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have about the .338-.375 Campfire, or about the rifle Mickey Coleman built for me chambered in that caliber. So, ask away if you're so inclined, and I'll be glad to answer the best I can. Rick
