ANY ONE REMEMBER MAJ GEORGE C. NONTE

[rockquarry]

IIRC Nonte wrote a lot of articles under pen names-"C. George Charles" comes to mind.
It's not that there aren't that many good gunwriters today, it's the ones we remember are a tough act to follow.

I think he was also Otto Scofield (spelling may not be right).

Nonte

I also thoroughly enjoyed his book Handgun Hunting. Also his many magazine articles. Excellent old school gun writer. I miss his insight. I do remember he was an advocate of the S&W 39.

Nonte's book "Modern Handloading" devotes a chapter to the manufacture of smokeless powder, which is about as complete as anything you are likely to find on the topic. It also includes a chapter on cartridge conversions. Not nearly as complete and comprehensive as Donnelly's book, but nonetheless useful as an introduction.
