Wow, nice site looks like I'am going to have to shell out more dough!

I like this magazine. Good information and it does not seem to have the huge bias that some of the other gun magazines have.

This is must reading for the Neophite (newbie) & Tyro (pro) reloader.

Actually, tyro means novice.

Yep. It's my favorite gun mag. Good info on loading common rounds as well as education about the rare stuff. Call me oldfashioned but I still like having a paper copy to hold.

One thing "interesting" about Handloader--you get different viewpoints on loading. One will detail all the little meaningless things and rituals you can do and another will just load to load (see Mike Venturino (sp) columns on loading for his WWII arms collection).
I may disagree with certain approaches, but it is good to read different viewpoints and NOT have the writers trying to sell some new gimmick.
However, I wish they would cover WHY they chose certain loads. Often, they cover one load per powder but they don't say WHY they selected that charge weight over others. I don't know if that was the best load for that powder or if that was simply a mid-level load from some manual they just grabbed at random.
At least, unlike other mags, their group sizes are not always unbelievably small.

I have a couple issues here, but haven't got around to reading them yet.

Yes love the older ones as well. Proud owner of pet loads as well.

I have been reading it for only a few years. I need to get back copies.

Pet Loads was my go to book way back before I could afford a chrony.

My late dad had a few articles on .41 Mag ,40-65 and 45-70 Marlins, back in the '90s. I still refer to them for info. The old mags are full of interesting articles. If I ever see Handloader on the supermarket magazine rack, I'll buy it!

I bought 1-33 because of some discussion about handloaders blowing up their guns with reduced loads of slow burning powder. A Navy Ballistician wrote the magazine explaining what was happening to the reloaders because they had the same problem with 16" Battle Ship guns.

I started out with paper, then I went electronic for a year. That didn't work out so well, because I like to take it with me to work and it would have been a waste of toner to print every page. So now I am back with good old paper. handloader and Rifle are THE two best magazines for this guy, and they don't need to be in plain brown wrappers like my favorites of days gone by.
