The mag was a great source of info for years, but lost the loyalty and interest of the people who contributed the essays, experiments, and articles necessary to continue on the forward edge of riflery. Unfortunately, because of this and other reasons, they lost the loyalty of their core readership (IBS members, since it was originally the IBS unofficial newsletter) and other BR shooters, by running a lot of tripe unrelated to the stated purpose of the magazine--precision riflery-- and for many of us most irritating--amateur historical and/or biographical articles, poorly written and having in many cases absolutely nothing to do with any kind of rifle whatever. It's a tribute to the loyalty of the readers that the magazine got away with it for as long as they did.
