I recall reading his articles when I first started hunting in the early '70s.

Me too used to read all the Australian Shooter mags still have one of his reloading manuals

RIP, this man knew how to achieve the best from most calibers, still have his original reloading manual. Some offered loads would scare H&S experts today.

First reloading manual I ever had & still got it. RIP Nick....

Bit of a legend that's for sure.
Definitely my most used reloading manual that's for sure!
Rip Nick!

Yeh, never recommended soft loads..

I read many of his magazine articles, a legend particularly in Aussie shooting circles.
His articles were always well written, informative and thoughtful on whatever subject he was putting pen to paper on.
RIP Nick.

Yes I always enjoyed his articles easy to understand and informative just like our own Graham Henry

Was wondering if he was going to be like Keith Richard's...y'know at the beginning and end of creation...


Jokes aside he had a good innings. Go well sir.

There was a BSA 284 for sale here inspired by one of his builds, he was obviously ahead of his time in his thinking.

I was going to say the same about his lightweight 284 bsa into an mpi stock if I remember well.
Rip. I still use his manual regularly.

Yeah it was a nice looking rifle, I had the magazine article about it. Stock was from Corporal Trading if I recall correctly.

RIP to a transtrasman legend .i devoured copies of aussie sporting shooter in my younger days and always read ,even reread his sage advice.

still have the odd copy floating about in my archive too.

I started buying Sporting Shooter mags long before I was old enough to get my FA licence. Nick taught me a hell of a lot about guns ammo ballistics and hunting ethics.

Hot barrels sir.

Greetings,
Nick's 1980 Manual was one of my first and together with Cyril Waterworth's 1972 volume the only source of data for AR2201 which we used for everything.
