In 1966, Dave Wolfe left a magazine he co-founded to start Handloader. Many believed a publication devoted solely to handloading would not survive. Sixty years later, we are still going strong.

Over the decades, we have been fortunate to work with an exceptional group of editors and writers who shaped the look, feel and voice of Handloader. Each shared a deep commitment to handloading their own ammunition, and their dedication is reflected in every issue. Our success rests on their shoulders.
