It was Jim Bashline. I too loved that article. He talked about his lifelong fascination with the cartridge ever since a well to do "flatlander" gave him a cartridge as a boy as he helped out at a local hotel where the out of town hunters stayed during deer season. I'm sure I still have it in my mountain of magazines but it'd take a week to find it. There are no writers left that can/will write an article like that today....
