I have been impressed with Finn's writing for many years. Sad to have him pass, but we all go, sooner or later.

Most intersting were his articles on African hunting and shooting. The big article where he compares the effectiveness of various ctgs. putting them into 'groups' of killing powder - from OBSERVED effects on numberous animals was especially impressive. That people keep trying to get another 50 or 100fps from a .375H&H is interesting as according to the animals, it takes a lot more than that case can provide to make any difference whatesover. We do need confidence in our loads, though - our 'saving grace' from reality, perhaps.

Yes, he was one of the great writers - along with Elmer.

The .338/06 was/is a good round - now a proprietry round, SAAMI rated at 65,000PSI.

Load a .35 Whelen to the same pressure and you get get even better ballsitics with same wieght or identical ballistics with identical sectiona density, slightly better in the larger calibre - include a .375/06 and the same thing happens again. That's physics for you.
