I wasn't much of a George Nonte fan, but did read his material for years, beginning in the early '60s when I read everything I could find about guns. However, he went to work for Wolfe Publishing and was involved in a project around 1970 that was written up in HANDLOADER magazine. Other participants were the editor Neal Knox and Super Vel's Lee Jurras. They tested pressures on the hot factory .38 Special loads of the day, before the +P designation and then duplicated some of them with handloads in a two-part article. Two very interesting and excellent articles with perspectives somewhat different than today's. I think Nonte used the alias "Otto Scofield" in some of his work for Wolfe.
