Rifles handguns shotguns and wildcats are covered in a broad range of articles. Also includes an expanded catalog of tools accessories and components including prices and specifications--all extensively indexed for fast reference. In addition to being a world renown expert on firearms Ken Warner was the visionary behind and original editor of the acclaimed KNIVES annual book series. BLADE has a feature article about this titan of knives. The turn of a phrase the flow of the narrative and simply getting the story straight are hallmarks of the writing craft. BLADE Magazine Cutlery Hall-Of-Famer® Ken Warner brought the ability to perform each of these along with an unmatched eloquence to the knife industry. Universally knife authorities acknowledge him as the individual who lifted custom knives out of the shadows. He helped to accomplish this with a straightforward crisp and clean writing style that captured the imagination of readers for nearly half a century. Educating the general public about knives evolved into something of a mission for Warner. In 1976 he wrote The Practical Book Of Knives a primer of information on the mechanics components function and terminology associated with knives. Through editorial contributions to a number of publications he has managed to spread the word. Handloading or reloading is the process of making firearm cartridges or shells by manually assembling the individual components case primer propellant and projectile such as bullet slug or shots rather than purchasing mass-assembled factory-loaded ammunition. The term handloading is the more generic term as it refers to manual assembly of ammunition using components from any source. Reloading refers more specifically to the handloading of ammunition by re-using cases or shells from previously fired ammunition. The terms are often used interchangeably as the techniques are largely the same whether using new or recycled components. The differences lie in the preparation of the cases or shells; new components are generally ready to load while previously fired components often need cleaning removal of expended primers and possibly other reshaping/resizing preparations to make them ready to load again. Economy increased accuracy performance commercial ammunition shortages and hobby interests are all common motivations for handloading both cartridges and shotshells. Handloading ammunition waives the user off the labor cost of commercial production line workers reducing the expenditure to only the cost of purchasing components and equipments. Reloading used cartridge cases can save the shooter money or provides the shooter with more and higher quality ammunition within a given budget. Reloading may not be cost effective for occasional shooters as it takes time to recoup the cost of the required equipment but those who shoot a lot will see cost-savings over time as the brass cartridge case or shotgun shell hull the most expensive components can be reused many times with proper maintenance before needing to be replaced. The bullets/shots and primers can also enjoy discounted prices when purchased in bulks. Besides economy the ability to customize the performance of ammunition is a common goal. Hunters may desire cartridges with specialized bullets with specific terminal performance. Target shooters seek the best achievable accuracy as well as the most consistent trajectories i.e. best precision. Shotgun enthusiasts can make specialty rounds not available in commercial inventories at any price. Many handloaders also customize their cartridges and shells to their specific firearms usually in pursuit of accuracy: they can assemble precision ammunition using cartridge cases that have been fire formed to best fit the chamber of a specific firearm. Handloaders have the flexibility to make reduced-power rounds for hunting rifles such as handloading to an equivalent of a milder-recoiling round to encourage recoil-averse hunters to become proficient with a full-power one. It is also a not infrequent practice for handloaders to make increased-power ammunition i.e. "hot loads" if flatter trajectories are desired. Rather than purchasing a special purpose rifle which many novice hunters would outgrow within a few hunting seasons a single rifle can be used with special handloaded rounds until such time more powerful rounds are desired and become appropriate. This use of specialized handloading techniques often provides significant cost savings especially when a hunter in a family already has a full-power rifle and a new hunter in the family wishes to learn the sport. This technique also enables hunters to use the same rifle and caliber to hunt a wider variety of game. Collectors of obsolete firearms who want to shoot those guns often must handload because appropriate cartridges or shotshells are no longer commercially produced. Handloaders can also create cartridges for which no commercial equivalent exists - wildcat cartridges. As with any hobby the pure enjoyment of the reloading process may be the most important benefit. Recurring shortages of commercial ammunition are also reasons to reload cartridges and shotshells. When commercial supplies dry up and store-bought ammunition is not available at any price having the ability to reload one's own cartridges and shotshells economically provides an ability to continue shooting despite shortages. There are three aspects to ballistics: internal ballistics external ballistics and terminal ballistics. Internal ballistics refers to things that happen inside the firearm during and after firing but before the bullet leaves the muzzle. The handloading process can realize increased accuracy and precision through improved consistency of manufacture by selecting the optimal bullet weight and design and tailoring bullet velocity to the purpose. Each cartridge reloaded can have each component carefully matched to the rest of the cartridges in the batch. Brass cases can be matched by volume weight and concentricity bullets by weight and design powder charges by weight type case filling amount of total usable case capacity filled by charge and packing scheme characteristics of granule packing.
