John Boy, How did you talk to any one about the magazine? They have been out of business for over two years and I tried over 18 months ago to no avail. I wanted some back issues. Let me know if you have a way to contact these folks. Later David

Saz,
Did the article help you understand BP loading or do you already load BP?
It has helped me to understand the basics that all BP loaders assume you already know and tend to skip over when talking BP loading.
It gave me enough info to help me load my first BP rounds and if the rain lets up will try them out on Monday.

The way I look at reading even some basic material is, by the way the author wrote it might give me an idea to explain it myself to a new person in a better way that they learn faster and understand better. Nothing like a teacher that takes pains to learn how to teach their students. Their is also nothing like the pride a teacher feels when one of their students takes it to heart and accomplishes great things with that knowledge.
Are you a teacher by chance Doc?
I taught basic electric and electronics in the Navy.
Had to teach basic math to high school graduates before they took the course.
Spent more time teaching the basics of math and trying to explain electronics than anything else .
Sure was funny sometimes when you saw the light finally come on in some of their minds.
I did find the article of great use as like I said in a previous post it told me the basics and reenforced the things others had told me.
Enough that I have loaded my first BP shells.
Now to make sure I don't become a statistic when I shoot them.
Not likely but it gave me the confidence to do it
The light bulb thing you know!
