I knew Jack O'Connor well, guided him more than a few times for Coues and Mule Deer when I was a kid, and he was more or less my mentor and the best off hand game shot Ive ever known, in fact the best shot Ive ever known. I never knew him to use 110 gr. bullet in the 270 or a monolithic, not even sure he was still around when the monolitics came about, but wouldn't swear to that...he was a dyed in the wool 130 gr. Rem or WW fan..I also know he "seldom" hunted with handloads, mostly factory ammo, although he shot a lot of handloads on target and varmints and Im sure on some game as I know he shot old WW2 surplus in most of his 270s along with some IMR-4065 and wrote of that...I had better add "for the most part" I picked his mind to the point he told my dad "Does that kid ever get tired of talking guns and hunting, Dad said, not that I know of unless you ask him about one of the horses, he has a two track mind" I guess that will never change.

Even more reason you should be writing a book!
