Your quite correct with that comment stug....

Seem to recall reading articles he wrote where he was extolling the killing virtues of his 303 with its heavy bullet and its slow velocity, and how wonderfully it killed over more modern chamberings such as the speedy 243 with its lighter weight bullets (probably aimed at Phil Holden).

Yep wasnt long before there was a magazine article where he lavished praise on his new 243 which had replaced his 303.....
