I kind of think that a large number of these writers really have only average ability. There are magazines like Shooting Times, Guns and Ammo and such that are basically good enough to line the bird cage. Handloader is better, Presicion Shooter better than that.
Then I think that if some of these guys wrote an article with what they know and put it in front of an editor, that editor might just say "Too long, will fly over the head of our readers, dumb it down."
I think the internet has rendered these magazines obsolete. Much can be learned from sights, and reloading forums. One simply has to be careful in validating anything they read.
