Took me almost three weeks to read this thread. On the Miss America 30/416R, his quote about getting a slow enough powder, "If we can't get something slow enough, we'll use nitro soaked charcoal briquettes". Or something to that effect. And the short termed thoughts of hitting his windmill or water tower. Figured the bullet would fly '20-'30+feet above it in mid flight.
His meticulous documentation of his experiments. Bullet deflection/Brush guns. Made multiple peg boards of same materials and shot lots of cartridges to back or debunk myths and wives tales.
His opening page in Nosler #? on the 378Weatherby. Not finding a blood trail, but lion clockwork at the spot of the shot.
Always looked forward to anything he wrote or Garry Sitton.
I remember the brush deflection tests and the lion clockwork comment, too. I always enjoyed his writing and feel a new kindred spirit of sorts with Ross since learning we share a severe aversion to legless reptiles.
