I am also not interested in writing anything about my own past 23 years of personal experiences it only tends to turn allot folks here off. 
If I cannot share it here to hopefully help others out there is really no reason for me to sit down and to write it all down now.

Personally it think an article or two would work better than posts on a forum.

Forums are by nature a discussion. Posts are open to debate and criticism. 2500 characters are used quickly and limits the explanations. 

There is more than one way to achieve what you have accomplished, so of course any one way of doing things will be challenged by others who arrived on a different path. The discussion that sorts those differences out is how iron sharpens iron.

Forum discussions are not your strongest asset. Wink

If you truly are interested in passing on your knowledge and creating a legacy(for lack of better words), give an article or two a try. 

You could do more of a story column titled something like 
“Ramblings of a retired shooter”. Then end it with “all for this issue, now get off my lawn.”

Best part is guys like me, won’t be able to frustrate you Grin

Think it over, but it would probably better received than you think.

How about a person that is experienced in giving personal interviews to do so with our more prominent shooters either on the net or our bi-monthly publication. If done on the net no posts allowed on the thread other than the two participants. Hopefully this will allow more participants to come forward and share their wisdom. As a side thought, Harry Pope, if alive today would have long packed up and left this forum due to the sniping by those that can’t resist tearing down a fellow enthusiast. I would certainly hope the day will come that those still remaining can share their wisdom, Frank Elliot comes to mind as well as John Louis; maybe a request to all that have fired a 250 off the bench or hold a offhand record.

Dellet please don't ever feel like you might have frustrated me.
I actually enjoy reading all of your own opinions. 
I believe when everyone is sharing their own that it can be a real big benefit to others that are here. 
It is also not my way or the highway as we might all take different paths to be able to achieve each of our own individual succeses. 
If my responses appear to come across that way it is surely not my intent.

Hopefully we can all learn from one another, and do it in a civil manner. I certainly have learned valuable info from you John over the years, much appreciated.Have always enjoyed that you share from what you have done, not theories. Take care my friend.

John,

I look forward to your posts, thank you.

I acquired but have not shot a 32- 40 with a 12 twist.
Any thoughts on alloy for that fast twist.?
All else being equal, presuming smokeless powder,
Do you know if a soft mix will lead more than a harder bullet? 

or

Is leading more of a bullet / chamber / bore fit / rifling design lube issue..

Thanks in advance

Randy I personally found  that 1 in 16 was the best for my own personal use. 
Of course that also depends on bullet fit and avoiding any leading issues. 
If I had to settle on just one it would be 1 in 18. 
Moving up from 1 in 40, 30, 25, 20 18, I found 1 in 16 to be the best for my onwn personal use.
I am also not interested in writing anything about my own past 23 years of personal experiences it only tends to turn allot folks here off.

I have no experience with fast twist .32-40's but SchuetzenDave does.  He and others use ( I believe ) 1:11.5 twist RKS barrels with heavy bullets very successfully.

Chris.
