Shhhesh. It's entertainment, folks. Don't we all know by now that there is no way to make an objecive case for or against a rifle chambering based only on facts.
So somewhere, somehow, opinion has to play a part.
I chuckle everytime I get one of those "letters to the gun editor", where an obviously brethless and beet-faced keyboard jockey is taking me to task for "getting it wrong" because I besmerched his favorite cartridge or rifle.
Get a grip! Gun writing, like many forms of writing is part news reporting, part technical writing, part features writing, part opinions/editorial writing, and part entertainment. If you do it well, it's all of them combined.
I love these articles because they are part a long, fine sporting tradition. It would stretch the imagination not at all to think that once a caveman joined his caveman buddies by the fire after a long day of unsuccessful hunting.
As our long-ago ancester sharpened his spear, someone looked on from across the fire, pointed, and said, "Ug. Grog. You never kill anything with that. That not enough spear for mammoth. Everyone know that the BC of that spear too much."
Gentleman, I give you the birth of the gun writer. Let the fun begin.
