Miller, I have never upheld magazine writers as having an edge on reason, they don't, and they stretch reason to prove a point many times. No argument there. You give the example of the "well-known gun writer" who tried foolishly to prove the square load by some equation he derived himself. The fact that many writers come up with nonsensical ways to justify their writings in no way diminishes them all. Brister has stood the test of time. I'll support his findings, but that's just me. I certainly don't believe everything I read.
You may not agree, but I will also stand by my belief that there is a little something special about a 28 ga. 3/4 oz. load that has yet to be explained ...............empirically.
All my best, SRH
