I always here about Jack O'Connor since I got my first computer back in 2002.

I even met him at the NRA convention when I was a a teenager, (for about 5 minutes) but I have never read much of what he wrote. I do remember a few articles in (I think it was ) Outdoor Life. All the reloading manuals credit him with bringing the 270 Winchester out before the public to the largest degree that any writer did, and I know that he was able to hunt in many places in the world and that he had a passion for sheep hunting.

That's about all I know about him.

Did he ever publish a book? Or books?

What I read posted about him seems Hot vs. Cold. Many people liked his writings, and many hated them. What made him so polarized?

I am a pretty old man, and I have been a "gun-guy" all my life, and yet I know next to nothing about Jack O'Connor, and I feel a bit "outside, looking in" when I read posts about his articles. Having not read much of his writing myself, I can't have a valid opinion.

What do you guys think?
