This months Handloader

[Bret4207]

The latest Handloader came in the mail yestersay. It's up in quality. 2 or 3 articles on cast boolits, and the others are good too. Get this- the closest they come to talk about the latest 338 Super Short, Long Range, Magnum Wheatheroni blaster is the 300 Win Mag. Theres even an article on a 9.3 cartridge. Dep Al better take a gander. I may renew yet.

...........Yeah, Dep Al was talking about the 44 S&W articles in it. Didn't say anything about the 9.3 though. MAybe he hadn't read back that far yet?

Maybe I'll have to put on my beret, and go to Barnes & Noble, have a Latte and check it out (that'll be the freakin day! The latte and beret that is) Our grocery store only carries a couple gun rags anymore.

Trooper Bret, what month? Sounds like a must have! Is it too much to hope for that they've seen the light and want us all back?

Yeah, Mike Venturino is on a kick about WWII bolt rifles, especially 1903 and 03A3 Springfields lately (not that I'm complaining.) He had a blurb or two about them in Shooting Times as well before he left there. Even though I've been aware of his writings since the mid 80s or so, I never really read his stuff before as I'm not really interested in BPCR or even much Western stuff. Lately, however, I've been enjoying these articles.

Mike is still listed in Shooting Times staff, but I haven't seen him write anything in it for quite some time now.

It's the October issue, # 237. Just as an aside, the 9.3 article is about a new wildcat by Barsness and Sisk. They're calling it the 9.3 BS.:mrgreen:

The issue I posted about was the prior edition, August 2005.

All this talk of berets and latte from Buckshot is scaring me a little. He got on a similar bent just before we went to Cedarville--wanting to take the VW convertible and wear a pink ascot or some such get-up. I think he has spent too much time on that graveyard shift he works.

I did just fine inside Barnes & Noble wearing blue jeans and a black "ALASKA TACTICAL" T-shirt. Its image is two polar bears with M-4's poised to assault an igloo. I think the tree huggers misinterpret the thing--it's an ad for an Anchorage training enterprise--but the weed eaters enjoy it.
