In my younger days I read every article I could find from Jack, and he is the reason that I bought a Win. M70 in .270 caliber in the 60's when I was in the Navy over seas, to bring back home to hunt with.

His favorite 130 gr bullet load was pushed with 49 grs of IMR 4064 and it turned out to be my most accurate load in my rifle, even though 4350 & 4831 did get higher fps in my testings.

He also liked the heavy 150 gr for Elk hunting with a full load of 4831 but my rifle did not do well with this bullet but it did very well with the 140 gr Nosler Accubond at 2940 fps with IMR4831.

Back then they also had a large 170 gr JRN lead tip for Moose but I don't think this bullet is still around today but it did have major ft/lbs that did the job at close range.

He was a great writer & hunter that put a smile on my face.
