I just went back into my "The Benchrest Primer" and read a few random articles. You are right it is a collection of articles that had appeared in PS, many the result of Dave Brennan writing to twenty or so top BR shooters and asking them about a specific topic, and then publishing their replies.
We already have something somewhat similar to that on sale in our store in Joe Brennan's massive compilation of articles by a large number of Cast Bullet contributors. 600+ pages of everything you wanted to know about cast bullet shooting and were afraid to ask. Some of the topics can't be found in any other source I know of including the Internet and without all the misinformation about shooting you have to wade through on the Internet.
For ALL the articles that have been in TFS we already have this on sale in the form of all the magazines on CDs. Picking out an area to compile articles about may be a workable plan - revolver loads, cast bullets loads for hunting, the pursuit of CB accuracy in rifles, etc.
To do that would require an editor to pick out the best articles and to do the work. Therein often lies the problem in an organization running on volunteers. We are now looking for a secretary and sorting through the candidates that have volunteered for this key position will be a very small job -- currently at 0 candidates.
