Guys thanks for your information!

When I read Wright's 2nd edition it convinced me not to use them. I also found Wood's "antique" vs. "modern" distinction not really credible (thin barrels are thin barrels at the end of the day, and thin barrels and hard bullets will not long make for happy combination).

400nitro what did you not like about Woods' book? I mostly objected to his bold bias (when reading I had to ask myself: why write a book about safari rifles and come to conclusions like, "I find heavy double rifles too barrel heavy,"??? hey I wonder who your audiance is???)

What of old nosler partitions then? Just I have some nice recipes for them for my 9.3 and would like to try them out, but had some second thoughts.

This forum is great!
