What I can't understand is why everyone Hero worships Ross Seyfried who came on the scene so much later than others yet is looked at as the guru of everything.

I love analysing personalities.....though I have not met Seyfried or Wright.

Wright is a former Airline pilot - the skills required are unique in terms of handling pressure, responsibility, precision, keep your cool, know all the facts etc.

Seyfried has been a lot of things including a pistol champion, PH & a machinist. He had to face pressure, take responsibility, keep his cool & know his facts - but in a totally different way. He also seems very well heeled & ownes the big Elk Song ranch & several valuable guns of a wide variety.

I think Seyfied would have greater experience with pistol & bolt rifle reloading as well as shotgun reloading. On DRs I would rate Wright's experience as there was no such publication before his. More DRs were USED in Australia in the 1970's & 80's than anywhere else. Ross did a lot of his DR & DG rifle shooting / experimenting in Australia. I wouldn't be surprised if the two men have met & even interacted on DR subjects.

The big difference seems to be in personalities - Ross is such a "in-your face" writer with strong opinions & "superlative" conclusions. Wright on the other hand seems to be so scholarly, technical, moderate & almost tedious in his style. Both are very good reading. One is a show champion & the other is a back room researcher.

I hope that answers 500Nitro's question.
