Finally getting around to putting my collection of Handloader magazines in binders.
Looking through some of the older ones has been very informative and enjoyable.
Three things I found, that I've not seen anything about them here.
1) .2240 TNT round
2) Savage reloading press.
3) Hydraulic case forming
I'm sure I'll find many more interesting things from the past.
I still have some holes to fill in, but getting there slowly.
I don't buy many of the newer issues.
Just have to many already.
That and I've noticed, many times, something old is new again.
I'm sure I'm going to have many extra's, doubles.
If anyone else has hole in their collection, maybe we can help each other.

Not really..........a lot of the long time “writers” recycle their articles for years(sometimes decades) I kept a few that had some exceptional articles. Everything else can be found on the internet!

those magazines are excellent reference and I have found that online. formats of articles from them are disappearing. for a long time I referred to a bookmarked online copy of article with tested load data for Alliant 300 mp powder. just a few months ago that online link disappeared. I would not doubt it if this is the case with other articles from the magazine. hard copies are the best, they don't disappear unless the wife puts em at bottom of bird cage.

Morning all, I believe that magazine is what sparked me into the reloading hobby after the purchase of my first hunting rifle. I always saved my brass not knowing I’d reload them years later.
I think I have a big box of old gun mix magazines. I might need to dig them out now !
