No worries R93, if i had taken something personally i wouldn't have bothered to reply - just trying to show the other side of the argument.

If a base requirement of being a magazine writer was being an exceptional reloader and an exceptional shooter there there would be very few writers. Also in my experience, you simply don't get paid enough for articles to warrant going through a reasonable load development for a rifle. A bit different if you already have the reloading components and a range of suitable powders and projectiles on hand but otherwise the writer will have to pay for that out of their own pocket.
