We need a part two already. I was hoping that Jerry Kuhnhausen would have gotten a mention. His early work was the best. Great presentation as always. Thanks for sharing!
Never heard of him !!
Who ? I've been an AVID gun reader since about 63 or so.
@@johnkoenig496 That is why he needs to be included. He is forgotten...
Jerry passed away in 2022 at the age of 85. He had recently completed updating his Mauser Shop Manual. Of the twelve or so books or shop manuals it was probably his best known.
This type of information is what sets you apart from all of the rest on UA-cam. Thanks for another really interesting video DDO!
If anyone is wondering what the book that’s In between “Hatcher’s Notebook” & Howe’s “The Modern Gunsmith” is on 0:27, it’s called “ Hunting with the Twenty-Two” (1993) by Charles Landis Hardback.
Just to let you know I had to go out and buy a couple thousand dollars of hunting books after watching that video🤔😳😂 I have been giving them as gifts to my good friends who love hunting as much as you and I do! Thanks again my friend!
I love Hatcher’s Notebook! His book on the Garand is so good also!
One of the best gun history lessons I've heard.
You are a true polymath Desert Dog. I think you had
I don't know why I needed this information but I'm sure glad I now have it. Great channel.
You forgot one man in the pioneering of ballistics, Franklin W. Mann whose book, “The Bullet’s Flight, From Powder to Target” wasn’t published until after his death. Great video…and everyone ought to read these authors.
I gave him mention in the video. He worked closely with OA Niedner.
@@desertdogoutdoors1113 My apologies, I was bedding a rifle while I was listening. Always work to be done!😎
Would love to.
Finding copies of these old works though, is another matter.
Still looking for that modern gunsmithing book, as well as O'Connor's classic.
DD, this will be another of your best videos. I knew a number of them but you managed to find a few new ones for me, thanks!
Great video, you’ve done it again!
I really didn't think I would learn something new...and I did , quite alot!
I can think of a couple of others, but great work.
I guess I am an old guy, that grew up with a ww2 vet and subsequent handloader, scientist . His reference along with his copious experiments had roots with some of these guys.
Let face it, those old guys rule, even today
Litz also seems hammered out of these old molds
Great! Yet another immediate classic. Your "borrowing" and regurgitating comments are precisely correct. Beware, other UA-cam lessers are doubtless already "borrowing" from you!
Great job, DD; People forget we are standing on the "Shoulders of Giants." IMHO.
Great video as usual ! I really appreciate your content !
Time after time you create credible information, with a great presentation. Thank you. And, because you live in Cali, Namaste!
Great info. I love these types of books. It looks like Z-Hat Publications is re-releasing The Bolt Action. This video did not go into detail, but there is two volumes of that book. I’ll be getting both!
Very good video, DD! Being an old guy myself I had actually heard of most, but not all of the men you mentioned. Thank you for filling us in on men who made such huge contributions to our shooting passion.
Great vid! After part two on these older guys, consider a part 3 on newer guys. There are some I'm sure, that most of us don't know about. Two writers that came to mind while listening to this, are John Barsness, and Ross Seyfried. They also read the earlier works, designed experiments to challenge many long held beliefs that had been repeated over and over again. Even though they did dispell some incorrect 'common knowledge', interestingly they also showed how correct the old guys often were.
Elmer connected with that deer at six hunert yards!🤣
What an excellent content idea
Always a great day when DD uploads.
Dang, was hoping to hear a shout out for Phil Sharpe.
Bringing Phillip Sharpe up "triggers" the Elmer Kieth guys who think Kieth invented the 357 Magnum.
@@desertdogoutdoors1113 But...but...but....338 Win Mag, .340 Wby Mag, .44 Rem Mag, 600 yard offhand revolver running deer...blah blah blah...😉
Thumbs up and a thanks for the chuckle.@@desertdogoutdoors1113
Me too! Sharpe’s Complete Guide To Hand Loading is an encyclopedia. I have the 3rd edition last printed by Funk and Wagnals in 1952. It’s just a few months older than I am. When I got it several years ago it wasn’t hermetically sealed on a mayonnaise jar on their front porch but was in great condition anyway. Great read for only $10.00.
I especially enjoyed the chapter on the process of powder manufacturing. Look up Angel Buggy and see what you find. Of course some of the information is outdated but I don’t know where you’ll find more information and data for reloading cartridges that are mostly collectors items now. Also the history of the development of ballistic measuring equipment and other related subjects.
@@hillbillyscholar8126it was a wounded deer. Don't forget that part. Kind of important. 😊
What a great episode! Really appreciate you bringing these deserving experts to my attention, several of whom I was not familiar with even after 50 years of shooting! We have the books from Whelen, Howe & Ackley, and will now have to run down a few more. For those into lever-action rifles, we’ve gotten some good tips from Mic McPherson’s books, too. I suspect that he may also be considered a bit forgotten. Ackley’s book has some great information about Julien Hatcher. The men you highlighted deserve tremendous respect for their work actually figuring out what worked and what didn’t in a hands-on manner. True pioneers. Thanks for your ongoing efforts to deliver first rate meaningful content to your subscribers. You also deserve our respect for your thoughtful approach to educating the next generation of shooters / hunters. You are a wonderful resource that I am very grateful for.
Your AWESOME! I Love your videos. Thank You!
Thanks for another great video DD
What about old mate from shooter with the glasses that slaps the rookies hand when mark walbergs character came calling about paper patched bullets.
"Mr. Rate" knew what he was talking about. Oddly enough, the original author loosely based the character on Townsen Whelen.
Good, informative video. Thank you.
Wow, lots of names there I’d not heard of before. Great content DD. I have four books written by my friend Lewis A S Potter. These cover deer stalking (UK), rifle ballistics, gun smithing and rifle smithing. He has many year’s experience of repairing and building shotguns and rifles. They are easy to read and understand.
Hi DD
It just so happens that l am going to a regional Gunshow soon , will keep an eye out for books written by the authors you mentioned, keep up the great , informative work.
Very interesting 👍🇨🇦
Thank you for another informative and entertaining video. I really appreciate all your videos! Was there a particular reason you didn't mention John Browning? just wondering. Thanks again for all you do for the hunting, fishing and outdoors folks.
He isn't a forgotten firearms expert.
More great information. I’ve been around long enough to know about Niedner, Whelen, Griffin and Howe, Hatcher and Ackley . I know about Hatcher’s Notebook but don’t have it or any of the books written by the others so now I have to get the credit card out again! I have read excerpts from some of their writings in older hunting and shooting related articles.
Like another viewer I was disappointed to see that Phillip B. “Phil” Sharpe and Jerry Kuhnhausen were not included. Of course I understand Sir Desert Dog can only get so much into a session without it becoming excessively long for some of you. Jerry Kuhnhausen wasn’t old compared to the others. He just passed away in May of 2022 at age 85 shortly after completing updating probably his best known of about a dozen or so books “The Mauser Bolt Actions, M91-M98, A Shop Manual”. Phil Sharpe’s “Complete Guide To Hand Loading” is a book every serious hand loader should have just for a history lesson. If you don’t know who P.O. Ackley was you’re not a serious hand loader or maybe you’re just a Gen Xer who gets all his knowledge from the internet.
What about Les Bowman, father of the 7mm Remington Magnum.????
Spectacular. Keeping this one . Want those books..🦬🐎
What about Nuttnfancy?
Bwahahaha. You win "comment of the day".
Way long ago saw 4 sale the fabled star gauged springfield target rifle 4 , 800 . Couldnt believe it so it hot away. Never know enough🦬🐎
Glad I have a star gaged 1903 Springfield,in O6
