IIRC the "soup can article" was a piece on a fast twist .22 cal based on a .308 or slightly larger case. Looking back on it he was ahead of the game and was pushing what were then unheard of weights in a .22cal, I think 80-90grns. This was about the time the hipower guys were going to the heavy bullets but nobody was using them for anything else.

I dont recall the claim of hitting it every time but I do recall him stating that a mistake reading the wind was the only thing causing errors.

Regarding his African experience he did write the foreword on Hugo's book. In my mind that gives some credibility because Im sure not everyone would be asked to do that.

I will admit to being a Ross fan and would be in line if he ever put out an autobiography.

Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
