Found some OLD Handloader Magazines

I went traveling last Friday with some friends to Huntsville, AL. We visited Larry's and then JC's. At JC's I discovered 20 Handloader magazines from the early 1970's.

I have looked over most of them. I know the data is old and obsolete but the bullet casting articles are still useful.

Oh, they were $1 each and were on sale @ 20% off.

I have Handloader magazines from the last ten years or so and Rifle magazines for the last few.

I also bought a Ruger metal sign off the wall for $25. I may have paid too much but I wanted it for my gun room. :wink:

The real shocker of the day is that none of the three of us bought any guns. :shock:

Thanks,

Thanks for the post. Those old magazines are nice to look at aren't they?

Considering I was just a toddler then, I get to experience them for the first time. I was born in 1969 so the '72-'74 magazines are a little before my time.

The advertisements are also most interesting. For instance, I was not aware that Ohaus was involved in reloading other than scales.

There was one article about a very small .41 Mag cast bullet mold that was under 100 grains and the loads for it in a BlackHawk handgun. The mold would be interesting if you could find one.

I'll post if I find anything really interesting that I can share here.

Thanks,
