I learned a lot about cowboy guns and BP cartridge from reading his books. His knowledge was encyclopedic. RIP

Sad news.

A Montana icon in the industry, and a key writer for Rifle and Handloader magazines.

He was one of the few gun writers that I trusted to say-it-like it-is.

Mike had a lot of weight issues which may have contributed to his health issues.

RIP & condolences to the family.
