I agree with Paul that O'Connor probably never mentioned handguns in his articles. While he was a proponent of the 270, I don't think he was totally committed to the high velocity school of thought like Roy Weatherby. He wrote that the 270 was the best for its intended purpose but he did use heavier cartridges when appropriate. I also remember he did some development work on wildcat cartridges based on the 7x57 Mauser and I remember him doing some practical experiments on heavy brush performance of various calibers. If anyone is interested, I ran across a re-print of some of his favorite 270 loads.
