Guide tells all
Stoeger Publishing Company has just in-
troduced a new guide for handloaders, and
Ilk's quite appropriate. Anyone who's bought
actory ammunition lately has found the
prices escalating relentlessly. But more im-
portant, factory ammunition will never br-
ing out the full potential of your rifle or han-
dgun. Hand -loaded ammunition will.
Mass-produced ammo has to be a com-
promise. The shooter has to live with it and
compensate -or he can tailor his own am-
munition to suit his own particular needs
and desires.
Handloader's Guide tells you what you
need to know to turn out accurate, hard-
hitting loads for serious target work or for
hunting. The author, Stan Trzoniec, takes
the reader step by step through the process
of setting up a loading bench, selecting
equipment and loading components, putting
them all together and finally testing those
loads for efficiency.
The intricacies of ballistics are discussed
in great detail. Evan a few grains difference
in a powder charge can mean a big dif-
ference when you're trying for one -inch or
under groups 100 yards downrange, or try-
ing to place a shot on a bighorn ram at 300
yards.
The kind of bullets you use also means
plenty in terms of velocity, accuracy and ex-
pansion in game animals. For some kinds of
shooting many reloaders are shaving their
costs by casting lead bullets -with excellent
results. Those topics are covered, too.
Ali The kind of powder used is of vital impor-
tance. Trzoniec treats propellants with the
respect they require, offering sound and
well-founded advice on specific powders for
certain assignments.
• Above all, Handloader's Guide stresses
safety at the bench, at the range and in the
field. Common sense and strict, unvarying
adherence to load "recipes" are obvious
watchwords. Support items such as spotting
scopes, chronographs, bench rests, shooting
glasses, cartridge boxes and hearing protec-
tion are reviewed and evaluated.
The budget -minded shooter will find that a
bench full of expensive equipment is not
needed to turn out high quality ammunition.
By Steve Cooke
as Dick Eades points out in his chapter on
the .22 centerfires. Hand tools will do the
job. Eades is joined by other authorities who
contributed to Handloader's Guide. A
number offer their favorite rifle and han-
dgun loads and explain their selections.
In the search for new calibers some old-
timers tend to get overlooked. Not here. The
venerable .30/06 Springfield and 7mm
Mauser are given close examination and
found to be perfectly suited to many needs of
many shooters.
Handguns come in for their share of atten-
tion. Modern' autoloading pistols can be
reliable and trouble-free when kept clean
and fed ammunition that's been loaded with
meticulous care. As more and more law en-
forcement personnel adopt automatic
pistols as personal sidearms, a better
understanding of the -functioning of these
high-capacity, sophisticated autos is
necessary. It's all covered in Handloader's
Guide.
Author Trzoniec has spent a lifetime at
the loading bench, target range and in the
game fields. He has combined his penchant
for handloadithg and shooting accurate am-
munition with his profession of commer-
cial/industrial photographer. The result is a
group of outstanding photographs that con-
tribute much to his book. To say that it is
well -illustrated is an understatement.
Besides running a successful photography
business full-time, Trzoniec finds time to
serve as Contributing Weaponry Editor for
Survive magazine, Special Projects Editor
for Guns magazine, write for all the major
gun publications (including Stoeger's
Shooter's Bible), and to handle photo
assignments for Outdoor Life magazine and
arms manufacturers such as Remington
and Charter Arms.
Handloader's Guide is the culmination of
decades of hands -On experience. Genuinely
authoritative opinions and guidance are ex-
pressed throughout this 256 -page book,
available from Stoeger Canada, 165 Idema
Rd., Markham, Ontario, L3R 1A9;
Telephone 416-475-6682 for $17.45 including

The waters of rivers, streams and creeks belong to everyone. Im-
proper use of the watercourses which carry these waters may result
in the following?
-irrigation and drainages problems for neighbours
-destruction of aquatic and wildlife habitat
-reduced recreational opportunities
-erosion and flooding problems
Whenever permanently flowing watercourses are to be altered In
any way including damming, diverting, and channe'ization, Federal
and Provincial laws require that the approval of the Ministry of
Natural Resources be obtained.
As a first step in planning any work on a watercourse, contact us.
Our staff will be glad to discuss possible design and layout alter-
natives which will minimize future problems for you, your neighbour
and public in general.
Inquiries can be directed to:
