HAndloads.com?

[richhodg66]

Does anyone know what happened to them? The site has been down for a while.

Things had gotten slow there, but I had hoped it would spring back up eventually. I'm on here more now, but started on forums over there and had friends on it (several are also regulars here). I hope it's not gone for good.

[EMC45]

I too started over there. There are a lot of folks here and there. The site was rarely updated and the format was quite old. Maybe the owner/site admin just let it time out?

[joed]

I was one of the oldest members there, started when it was very active. The last 2 years I wondered if the plug was going to be pulled as the older members have died off or moved on to other forums.

Noticed last week it's dead and I'd bet it's not coming back. That forum saw such little use that this is the first anyone as asked about it. It was sad to watch it die but I wouldn't be surprised if the owner finally pulled the plug.

For a forum to work you need new members from time to time and interesting topics. I had hopes that the site would continue as there were new members coming in. Hate to see it go but I don't think it will be back.

[Beerd]

Too bad. I didn't post much or often, but I visited almost every day.

[David2011]

Too bad. I hope it comes back up. It’s (it was) a good resource.

[Land Owner]

This site is very active. Others not so much. Without folks that post, a site gets "stale". Members come in multiple capacities. Those that post always (not me). Those that post now and again (me). Those that respond always (not me). Those that respond now and again (me). And the Fence Sitters, gawkers, and Guests.

Certainly without attracting new members, a site gets old, but familiar.

It also costs to serve a site and folks that started out making sites with forums probably didn't realize the effort or dollars it would take to keep them alive.

[Dieselhorses]

Seems gunloads.com (without subdomain "castboolits") is a bit of a ghost town.

[joed]

I know that the owner wanted to shut Handloads down but the old timers asked him to keep it running as a place for them to meet. But, one by one they died off till I don't think there were 5 people posting on the forum. It got so desolate that I would only visit once every 2 or 3 weeks. And none of the topics were interesting enough for me to post.

I'll try this forum for awhile and see how it goes.

[Tom W.]

I was one who posted fairly regularly. I was on it for many years. I had to re do my info since I forgot a lot since my heart attack and cancer surgeries, plus getting old....but I did enjoy looking up loads and figuring out which would work for me. I'm sorry to see it is gone.

When Paul Jett passed away, that was the steep decline time starting. Seems he was holding it together.

Paul was a member here too, just didn't post as much. Handloads was pretty active when I joined it. Hate to see it die, I'd have figured they'd at least give everybody a warning that it was coming.

[cas]

Guilty myself. I was an early member, hadn't posted in years. Only visited a couple times a year in recent times.

[Tom W.]

It's back up as of today anyway.....

[joed]

Feels nice to be wrong, I thought the owner turned it off for non use.

[am44mag]

Yeah, I checked last night for a new load to try and it was up. I have never participated in the forums, but I have considered it a valuable source of reload data for years. I have a three ring binder with a ton of pages from that site that I printed off to keep out in the shop.

[marlin39a]

I tried to register, but I cant get by the reCapture. Says it is down.

[Tom W.]

I just tried.....still up for me.

[RED BEAR]

i use it at least every other day and have had no problems at all!

[JBinMN]

It is not allowing any one new to join/register into the Forum section due to the "Captcha" not working.

As long as it remains closed, the forum section will "slowly die on the vine" so to speak. The rest of the site has much to look at, if nothing else for some research uses, & I hope it remains accessible. I have had it "bookmarked" for a while now.

Kind of a bummer that it is not longer open to new members though...

[BDJ]

Handloads.com is up and running.

[Beerd]

Site trouble again?
I just tried to get on and got a "This page can't be displayed" message.
..

[joed]

Been gone again since yesterday. Probably be another 2 weeks before it's back. I've been expecting it to just just disappear one of these days for lack of interest.

[Tom W.]

Yup, I can't get on again......

[REM1875]

It's a no go for me from 2 different browsers ..........I did enjoy it ........hope this ain't the end .........

[Silvercreek Farmer]

No joy for me either. It went down a couple years ago and when it came back up, I printed a couple calibers that I use often. Sure hope it comes back up, it's been a valuable resource for me.

[mtnman31]

If it comes back up, I plan to copy and save some of the info. before it disappears forever. They had some load data by Taffin that I wanted, specifically, some of his 40S&W, 45LC, and 480 Ruger data. I tried some of the web archive sites but they didn't archive down enough levels to have the load data.

[chrometip78]

I was just trying to get on handloads for some reduced 30-30 load ideas but it was down. I never posted there but used the load data often. And similar to some of you printed the loads for several calibers and keep them in a binder in my shop for reference when trying new things.

[Bohica793]

After examining the WHOIS records for the site, it appears their registration expired on 1/30/2019. This would explain the disappearance of the site. I am attempting to contact the registered owner of the domain to see what can be done to resolve this or to acquire the assets.

[AltAmmo]

Any updates on this? Were you able to contact the site owner? I would be interested in knowing the costs to keep the site going, or if the owner would be interested in selling. It is a good point of reference for new loads.

In general for range firing to hone your skill you need to keep the kick down so you can shoot longer periods of time. (This "mother of all handguns" can wear you out within a half hour if you don’t try things to metigate the pain)I found light bullet loads with light loads of lil’gun still generate aprox 30k PSI in the case which is well enough to get the bullets out. 22.5k is min PSI for safe bullet launch out a 8 3/4 barrel. I use the LR Primers in my reload due to note from Corbon concerning magnum handgun primer burn thru causing damage to the firing pin. (see Corbon website). I also like that the LR seats about .006 deeper that the Magnums so the are in fact alitter easier to load in my opinion.

This is one of my commercial .500 bullets fired from a 15" OTT Encore barrel with integral break. All testing done in one session, chrono was placed 10’ from muzzle and most accurate loads were selected for further developement. Rounds were fired at 50 yards. This load produced a 2.5" group with 22" drop at 200 yards.

This load produced an enormous amount of recoil thru the breaked 15" OTT Encore barrel. The SD was acceptable at 17, however the grouping was much larger than the H4227 load. Note: the bullets are my commercial gas checked bore rider design and shot very fast with no lead buildup.

I was looking for something a little lighter than the Hornady 350 XTP’s that I had been shooting. These were using Rainer Ballistics 335 grain FMJ-Flatpoint bullets and are a nice round out of my 4-inch Model 500. (not punishing). The only thing I’ll change for the next batch is probably switch to CCI 350 primers as I think they’re a bit cleaner. (Hornady Brass used for these loads)

I have printed all the pages for the cartridges that I load from about 2 years ago. They are in a 3 ring binder with other load tables and my data for these loads.

You didn't happen to keep the pages for 480 Ruger or 40 S&W? If so, could I trouble you for a copy?

I found out that one "John K." originally owned Handloads.com. I actually found his number and left a message. He's like 77 years old (according to MyLife.com) and resides in WA.

Farmerjim,

It would be great if there was a way for you to post them here if ya can.

I realize it is likely asking a lot, since the data Dieselhorses posted (post#32) was just for one caliber & it was pretty large, but if you could put your load data from the Handloads site into a .pdf file format and upload it to a place like Google Plus so we could all look at it & then all of us could save the .pdf file to our own computers & the load data could be shared that way.

I use 7 out of the 11 calibers you say you have & I am looking at trying to get a 45/70 so that would be 8, and you have a treasure trove of load data from there. SO I would certainly be interested if you figure out a way to share what you have with others.

Anyway, Just a thought. I wish I had known that the site would have been taken down/lapsed, or I would have put some of the load data into .pdf files long ago. Hindsight is always 20/20 though...

{ Which now reminds me that I need to go & do that for some other sites, over the next few weeks, so it does not happen again like what happened to Handloads.com. If nothing else, make screenshot or Word/RTF files to save them.}

[Dieselhorses]

I spoke with someone today concerning "HandLoads.com" and owner doesn't live at that residence anymore. I left a message for "John K." to call me back. The person I did talk to (I believe she may be his wife?) said that he didn't have any intentions of putting site back up. If he calls me going to see if "data" still exists.

[mtnman31]

Hopefully, he gets back with you and is willing to share the data.

[Silvercreek Farmer]

I only checked a few calibers, but this seems to be working. Get it while you can! Maybe someone smarter than me can figure out a way to get it all and get things running again!

Thank you, just pinned the page to my favorites.

[shdwlkr]

thanks silvercreek farmer got all the ones I wanted. Too bad it just might be the last of handloads ever

[richhodg66]

Tried clicking on the old link in my favorites and instead of coming up with "page unavailable" like it has been for a while, there was a Microsoft page that suggests that the domain is available(?) Guess it's gone for good this time. Gonna miss it.

[Dieselhorses]

Here’s a useful page http://www.reloadammo.com/reload.htm

Never got a call back from the handloads site owner. Glad the archives was found!
