If you should run across a one-legged blind man at DSC this year, please take the time to introduce yourself as a "friend" of mine from Accurate Reloading. Joel's a great guy with whom to share a drink. He'll be looking for a New Zealand stag hunt while at the convention. I wish I could've made it, but I just couldn't get away from work.

Matt and all...Dr Scott and I were able to meet Joel and he was taken care of. Scott was instrumental in obtains tickets for our sold out banquet so Joel and a friend could have a good time on DSC. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and I’ll try to post a photo or two tomorrow. Karl Evans | |||

I’m teaching today so I missed Joel’s phone call, but he left a long voicemail. He was blown away by all the Accurate Reloading folks who said “hello” and how well you guys and the rest of DSC took care of him. He plans to attend again next year...and become a Life Member in the mean time. Thanks to all!!! | |||

Mike - Joel texted me the pic of you and him at DSC. You haven't changed since you introduced me to big bore rifles 12 years ago. | |||

In my official duties as DSC president at the convention I got to meet foreign ministers, congressmen, hunting celebrities and billionaires. But far and away the greatest honor I had was getting to shake Joel's hand and spend some time talking with him. What an amazing individual. Hopefully Karl will be able to get some pictures posted.

I've long enjoyed my association with AR and have been an on-again off-again member of both SCI and DSC. You've all convinced me to become a life member of DSC and attend next year. | |||

What can one add to this? A member posts about a friend of his who might need some assistance. And who comes forward? Two gentlemen who are a perfect example of what DSC stands for. There is no THEM and US in DSC. We are all the same. Great human beings, who love to hunt, and be in the company of like minded others. They make you feel part of a greater family, and so proud of being part of it. Well done gentleman  | |||

K Evans, Dr Scott, Mike, & Matt himself are pure class. Joel thank you for your service protecting our country. God bless the brave men and women of the US Armed Services. Mike Legistine actu? Quid scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||
