I have not hunted with such a person. I am typically the nuttiest gun nut in camp, as far as what people are likely to be using in the modern day. I don't go on about it though. Decades ago, I had little clue about how that came across to others and was probably (definitely) guilty of this crime.

I have, however, hunted with a PH that had three different kinds of factory loads in a 5-down 375 H&H, which I used when my rifle and ammo didn't show up. He wasn't sure what they were. His rifle, a 416 Rem Mag he had recently acquired, shot perhaps 10"-12" off the mark somewhere around 75 yards. Didn't seem to matter to him. So that was a different sort of problem.

I am a gun nut because I enjoy ballistics and appreciate finely made guns. I also hunt alone a lot (dogs don’t count?). So, to answer the question: yes.

There are good gun nuts and bad gun nuts, the good ones don't argue with me about horses!

Sharing camp with a true gun nut is fine.

Sharing camp with some one who thinks he is can be trying.

I had a guide tell me a 32spl had more power then a 30-06 because it had a bigger number.

Hi Ross,

My son and I really enjoyed hunting with our mutual friend in New Mexico. Chris sure knows rifles and cartridges and shooting.

Chris is the best....
