#3 son is the Pacific/Hornady man in the family. I got him one of those Pacific pistol throwers a cpl months ago off evilbay for a decent price. He's going to start making rotors for it in his shop. Just a nice project to get him deeper down in the loading "hole".

Thanks for sharing and the pics!

Check out the names on the Technical Advisory Staff. Talk about a “Who’s Who” list!

I had never heard of the ARA but I always liked reading Dean Grennell's stuff. He was smart,funny and down to earth practical on reloading,bullet casting and pistols.

Never heard of it but it's interesting to go back and read pre-internet magazines and organization newsletters like that. When they were the source of information for people there was a lot more emphasis on content than advertising.

It requires some time and a copy machine or printer with the ability to scan the document and convert to a pdf format.

I used to read GUN WORLD in the '60s when the ARA was founded. One of their writers, Dan Cotterman was heavily involved in this endeavor, I think. I'm familiar with Dean Grennell who also wrote for GUN WORLD at the time, but don't recall his involvement, but that may be due to my poor memory. I haven't heard of this organization since the '60s. I didn't know it survived into the '70s.
