They can't be blamed for this 100% of course, as that is what their job is.

However, I truly wonder if a good solid base of technical writing might add a dimension of true "mystique" that might encourage younger shooters to leave the video games and get actively involved in more technical development of loads, etc.

Realistically, this might happen in a down economy. I mean, remember when it was cheaper and easier to merely buy a case of pistol ammo than it was to handload for it?

Who knows, maybe a little challenge in the wallet willl prompt more tecnical curiousity among shooters... {??}

As for there being no more Skeltons, etc. I agree and disagree.

There are plenty of fellows with combat and high stress law enforcement experience out there who COULD in theory replace the old guys. But in today's world, I believe it won't be soon before we read of Askins-style antics...

Maybe that is a good thing...
