CF member, BullShooter weighed in on the origin of the Wootter's article.
I'd guess that the article is from Gun Week, a tabloid newsprint publication out of Ohio. Neal Knox was the founding editor in 1966, but he left after a couple of years to become editor of Handloder and Rifle magazines in late 1968.
In early issues of Handloader, Wooters is included on the list of Staff with the added credential as "Associate Editor, Gun Week".
I came across an article where Wootters indicated he wrote for Gun Week.

"For me, at least, reloads
offered one more advantage:
recreation. Assembling my
own loads was and is one of
my favorite pastimes. I enjoy
the process itself, finding it
both relaxing and mentally
challenging. Over the years,
I’ve made much of my livelihood writing about the subject, having published two
books on reloading and
served as handloading editor/columnist for SHOOTING TIMES, THE RIFLE,
HANDLOADER, Petersen’s
HUNTING, GUNS &
AMMO, GUN WEEK newspaper, and other publications."
