Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns New Issue of Handloader

Pearce did a great write up on reloading for the .40 S&W. All loads were developed/tested in a G22.

He covers unsupported cases, cast bullets in the Glock barrel, etc.

It has a lot of good info in that one article. And a schit ton of load data.

I always find it unfair that a guy in montana gets his copy of handloader quicker than i do, when there corporate office is a couple blocks from my house in prescott. Just totally unfair.

I'll tell you what's unfair...

I don't have a subscription any more. And I had no idea this article was in the new issue. But my wife came home from getting groceries and said "I thought you'd want this since your subscription ran out."

I guess I can stop punching her now. She's got schit figured out.



Travis

Sounds like you aren't suffering to bad.

Hey deflave, could you make a DVD set on How To Train da'Wife. Lol

Pearce is one of the few current writers that is worth a hoot, I always enjoy his articles on handguns.

Professionally maybe, but there's always the recreational aspect of it that you can still enjoy.

It's pretty obvious you didn't just fall off the aviator truck.



Travis

First tell them you're me. Then glue my picture to your face.

INSTANT obedience.



Travis

I like his writing as well. He does a great job.



Travis

I didn't get my copy yet either. I thought subscribers were supposed to get theirs before the retail outlets......... Thanks for the heads-up, Travis. Sounds like an interesting article. I need to know more about Glocks.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago, if it matters to you guys....

Pearce rocks, being a local and all....

These days there is no better writer out their than Pierce IMO. No whining about what others say or believe. Just the facts as he demonstrates them. I just bought the issue yesterday. His work is always thorough to say the least.

Forget the Sad & Wimpy 40 and the G22, whatever that is... Read his article/Loads on the Redhawk 45 Colt!

I like Joe at RealGuns much better.

G-22 is okay, but, there is a G-23 out there and it's real nice.


Back on track==:-)

I don't think I could make it through one more article on the 45 Colt or 44 Mag.



Travis

pierce is one of my guru's. I also like a lot the .45colt, and it isn't like i am deficient in having vehicles to deliver that load. Having said that, I recently bought a redhawk in .45colt partially for those ruger only loads. Then i read pierce's article, talk about a hand cannon. Assuming i ever load any that hot. maybe for penetrating armor.
and it's still a boat anchor compared to a smith. But working the action a couple thousand times does seem to help.

DeFlave: Travis, by coincidence, at the recent Great Falls, Montana gunshow I picked up issue #3 of Handloader Magazine for a dollar!
It was new in September of 1966 (nearly half a century ago).
It has an article on the 44 Magnum pistol/cartridge and Hunting and reloading with the same, by... Elmer Keith!
In the lengthy article he relays specifics on his 600 yard shot on a Mule Deer Buck with one of his 44 Magnums!
If you have not read this article I think you would readily make it through "another article on the 44 Magnum".
This issue of Handloader Magazine has a wonderful picture of Elmer Keith lying on his back out in the sage flats (on a blanket) and he is propped up on one elbow sighting his 44 Magnum pistol down his shin at a distant target.
This issue also has an amazing 12 page piece written by P.O. Ackley on the "Amazing 17 Calibers" - if you are not familiar with that one it encompasses all manner of 17 centerfires and his pioneering work on same.
It also includes info and an amazing picture of a HUGE Alaskan Brown Bear killt with a 17 caliber centerfire.
If you want to read these super cool articles (and 15 more!) I could mail you this copy for your perusal (if you promise not to spew forth upon it!).
