OK
I have read a few of his articles and he has no knowledge to disperse other than general factory load bullshit. no real world experience except that his daughter shot something supposedly. Harley expert my ass.
 
Re: Chuck Hawkes is an idiot

yup. in general.....

His "knowledge" about anything and everything seems to be regurgitated bullshit that's the consensus from crap accumulated that he's read on the internet. The only thing I've read of his that may have some legitimacy is he had a rifle built for his daughter. Other than that, it's all bullshit. He has a manufacturers take on ammo, not reloads. He makes judgement on certain calibers and cartridges by the old school rhetoric rather than what's actually being done. for example: He writes about the short magnums being inferior to their longer action counterparts and that they can only shoot the lighter bullets provided by the ammo manufacturers. For someone who "knows" a lot about everything, he sure as shit doesn't know a damn thing about reloading or long range. This may just be a rant, but I'm sick of seeing his name pop up everytime I do a search for anything pertinent to outdoors.
