I've picked up a new habit since John Barsness has started hanging out here a bit.

If he gives us advice on something that interests me, and tells of an upcoming article in Rifle or Handloader that goes into detail on the subject, I make it a point to buy that issue. Chances are I'd buy it anyway, but it just seems like an honourable thing to do to support the gun writer who gives so freely here. I hope I'm not alone in this respect.


Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
