Yes agreed, Balázs Németh, who operates a gun and reloading shop in Budapest, Hungary, does some really entertaining and informative videos!

Come to think of it ... I don't I've seen anything (method, material, etc.) yet that I can disagree with ...

He is only the part-operator of Kapszli guns - his brother also helps to run it. Dr Németh's teaches military history at the Public Service University of Budapest's Faculty of Military Science and Officer Training. He has a particular interest in the infantry tactics and firearms history of the mid-19th century. He is the organiser for the MLAIC, gold and silver medal shooter in national and international muzzleloading competitions and noted author on historical arms. He is also an author and co-author of many technical and scientific studies on the design and development of firearms of the Austro-Hungarian period of history, as well as early phases of firearms development.

He's recently posted some more videos on competitive precision shooting with muzzleloaders and that looks like a very difficult sport.

For his books, I think he even has one or two osprey books in English.

Visited his shop a few years ago while working just outside Budapest. He wasn't there but I spent a good couple hours talking to the staff, very friendly and knowledgeable gentlemen, unfortunately a rarity in gunshops in the USA that I've encountered.
