[QUOTE="Nitro 375, post: 1280259, member: 92067"] That is awesome, love it. I may have to try some H5010. Hagel was definitely ahead of his time in many ways. My wife bought me that same book plus another of his for Christmas. He was definitely old school in the sense of speaking right out and reporting the facts with no sugar coating or concerns of anyone's feelings, I miss that. He was also very much into trying and testing the latest things and reporting on them. I loved the chapter on temperature and velocity variations. And this in the mid 1970's? Elmer Keith is one of my favorites too (who doesn't love Elmer?) but he tended to find something that worked (yes he experimented a ton too) and stick with it, and that's ok, not a thing wrong there. Hagel was always pushing the envelope and really embraced the idea of the controlled expanding bullets. I think he would be pretty pleased with the situation today with the slow powders, hi tech machining and high B.C. bullets, laser range finders, etc. Oh and I happen to know the man that had Clymer make the first three reamers in what became the 7mm STW. He told me the story recently and I had to laugh. It's a great round and we live in a very good time of technological advances in the shooting sports.I feel very lucky. [/QUOTE]
