It is with deep sadness that I inform you of Bill WJ Wyldes passing. He pioneered accurate AR's in the 80's. Bill invented the Wylde .223 chamber. And had a hand in some special rifles (carbines) for some of our nations best. He did independent testing of ammunition for Federal to come up with the 223 69 gr match load and the 175 308 match load. Bill was an accomplished shooter, having won the Canadian long range (F-Class) championship I believe 3 times.
Bill even befriended a dumb kid from nowhere Illinois and built him a few rifles and allowed him to shoot on 500 yard private range. Probably got tired of me pestering him on the telephone (before cell phones) to go shoot on a Sunday afternoon.
We are diminished.
