Thread: Mike Venturino

Greetings All,
I have just heard that Mike Venturino passed away on the 10th of June. Mike spent most of his life writing about guns and handloading, often in Handloader which I have been reading since 1980. Mike was 75 years old and still writing. I mentioned, in a recent post about my fumbling with the30-40 Krag the usefulness of an article he had written around 15 years ago in making sense of the conflicting jungle of data for that cartridge. Instead of just thinking about it I sent an Email of appreciation to Handloader with a request to pass on my appreciation to Mike. Regrettably a few weeks too late.
Regards Grandpamac.
