Mother in Law kept up my subscription to Rifle/Handloader for years. She eventually let it lapse for about a decade and I had hit a point I felt like I was re-reading a lot of the same info. (Mule Deer was nowhere near as bad as some when it came to repetition).
She re-upped the subscription this year. Got my first Handloader the other day. I had even read Mule Deer had retired and was still disappointed to not see his article there.
He and Ross Seyfried will always be my two favorite gun writers. Brian Pierce rolls in at #2 (maybe he’ll keep writing for a while).
Congratulations Mule Deer! You’ve more than earned it! Thank you so much for the knowledge you imparted on those pages! FWIW, the #1A 7x57 in my safe is there just because of the pic you had in an article with yours leaning on a backpack about 20 years ago!
