Yes, I agree! It’s funny hearing people judge a cartridge based “only” upon what Taylor wrote close to 70 years ago. Powder and bullets have moved on a lot since those earlier days and it’s hard to condemn and put up those same weak arguments over and over again.

I agree that Taylor seems to less recognise or even criticize anything non British as being substandard. I also notice that quite a few of his original negative comments seem to be third hand or hearsay on such matters that are outside his experience, being mainly heavy calibres shooting heavy bullets. The truth is that history is the better judge and there are a lot more American and European cartridges out there that British, so they couldn’t have been that bad...

Another note is that Taylor did know of Keith, since he mentioned him in his books regarding calibres, big game hunting and reloading. Keith was a well known outdoors writer of that era and I'm sure that Taylor read the gun rags as well when he had the opportunity.
