He was a gunsmith who, years ago, developed the .17 bullet and wildcat rounds such as .17/223. It had a muzzle velocity of +/- 4200 fps. There was literally no drop in the bullet in 200 yards. I saw a picture of a black bear that was shot with one of his bullets. The bullet penetrated and never left. It exploded inside and killed the bear. I had a small frame Remington rolling block built to the .17/223 and a factory built Sako action varmint rifle in the same caliber. They were very cool rifles. The winters of the '70s with no work in North Idaho brought me to the very regrettable state of having to sell these guns to feed the family and pay rent. :-(
