At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
I've heard that about a lot gun writers, that their written persona is a far cry from the man you meet. Probably true for a lot of different types of people.

I am a far worse smart-ass in person than in writing. I'll own that right to the ground.
Yep me too. Often people take me wrong when it was only meant as humor. Oh well, at my age I doubt I'll change now.

I have communication issues. I have an odd sense of humor. I inadvertently express pain, remorse, concern or pity as humor, which is not a good thing, to most.
Some close to me call it my impediment, of putting my foot in my mouth.
I do not always say things the way I meant them to be understood. Interposing words, and so forth.
Asking questions as a statement. Stress the wrong facts. Stating the wrong price, or figure, instead of the one I meant to say.
So I have learned to just keep my mouth shut, to keep from looking like an idiot or even a liar. Let my ye be ye and my nay be nay.
Spend most of my time at social events in the corner as not to get into deep conversation with someone who does not know me well enough to interoperate what I am saying.
I like to communicate thru memo's, text. It gives me a chance to see what I am saying, then make sure I am saying what mean.
I talk to a few people at work who can interoperate my mumblings. The others I do not say so much too.
When I do speak it is usually in humor, this totally throws them. They expect something profound, and usually have trouble figuring out it was all in fun, to the point of being offended, or just totally confused.
Ps. I corrected this post, like 5 times, that would not have been possible in a face to face conversation.

But it is true it's just reprints from Handloader magazine and the kids with the black rifles don't want old data. Just like us 60's and 70's kids never trust anyone over 40

A lot of good inf out there, I take it where I can get it, then always check it against a 2nd source. Some of that old stuff can be revisited to make sense of here and now.
Thing is an apple is an apple, just as it was 50 years ago and it will still be an apple in another 50.
Personally I am waiting for a series of short educational pamphlets on cast loads by caliber and gun type, with 2 or 3 pet loads. Each load from a slightly different train of thought. Rehashed or not. Preferably a current gun guy, with an extensive knowledge of reloading history, and others work. Yep, something like that, preferably by the likes of MR. Fryxell.
