Man, I am bummed...
There are 2 main reasons I've been subscribing to all 3 Wolfe publications the last few years, and they are Seyfried and Barsnes...
Ross wrote about stuff that almost nobody else did. I'm not particularly interested in ever owning some obscure black powder wingnut gun, but the articles were interesting, to say the least...
He wrote about all sorts of impratical stuff, including a "super small bore" article last year, the complete opposite of a blackpowder boom cannon..
it's an interesting read. I already KNOW that a 30-06 with good bullets can kill everything in NA, so why shouldn't we read abotu the weird stuff?
I like that he didn't really specialize in any particular thing. I'd open up Handloader and he could be talking abotu old rifles, shotguns, revolvers or pistols..
That Ross was opinionated made him all the better to me..I guess that a writer that use abit of humour (Like our friend Mule Deer) to call BS are easier for the general public to take than a more in your face approach, which is closer to Ross's style...
but I guess I'm a bit ornery, myself.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
I'll miss him on the Wolfe roster.
