Terry Wieland and "the unfortunately named 470 Capstick"
11/05/08 05:20 AM

Hi, just finished reading Terry's book, "Dangerous Game Rifles", and I thought it was pretty well done. Some of his opinion's just seemed arbitrary however. Seems like he has a bone to pick with Peter Capstick, so his only comment on the round is "the unfortunately named 470 Capstick". Since it's the only bolt action DGR cartridge between .458 and 500 caliber that factory ammo is availabe for and is in between the 470 and 500 NE rimmed cartridges in power (energy, caliber, momentum) which he loves, I'm kind of puzzled. If the cartridge has faults, (difficult feeding, extraction, too high pressure, etc.) he should have enlightened us.

Anyway my two cents,

Chuck
