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 postage and handling.
