I have read some of these old time gun writers and enjoyed it, but one book/ writer that does not get mentioned is John Nosler. I thought “Going Balistic” was really interesting, as are most of his cartrige descriptions in manuals and articles he has written. He was once on a guided hunt amd a horse pissed him off so bad he bought it from the guide so he could shoot it amd use it as bear bait, lots of great stories
