Col. Chas. Askins told me that he did that very thing. He knew that angry readers write to editors, proving that his material was being read. He was dead serious, too.

Actually, I think he did write that the .30/06 was obsolete.

This very day, I got an Online magazine with a feature saying that the stainless .357 with four-inch barrel is the ideal survival handgun. I tend to agree.

I think you'll get enough responses here to let you know that your thread was noticed.
