handloads.com gone??

Is that the site that posts loads sent in by any Tom, Dick or Harry?
If so, they probably got sued by someone who actually used one of their published loads and blew up their gun.

They actually don't post loads anymore. I noticed they were going down hill for about 1.5 years now.
I've been a member since 2002 but have just quit spending time there anymore as the subjects discussed don't interest me.
Hate to see them go as I had a number of friends there but I can see why they would close.

I only used the site for their ballistics calculator. Gave me drops and therefore comeups for my various F Class loads out to 1000 yards.
I actually corresponded with the site director a few years ago. As a retired computer science teacher with a comp sci degree I was interested in the programming language(s) he used to code the ballistic calculator. He said C++ and Assembler both of which I taught to my grade 12 classes.
Anyway, too bad. I had hoped that his server had crashed or some such thing and he would come back on line. Let`s hope.

JBM is the best web-based ballistics calculator going. If you use the pull-down menus for BCs, you can save time. These pull-down tables include field tested values derived by Bryan Litz.
Ya I noticed it's down too ???
JBM is good, I downloaded PointBlank Ballistics and am pretty happy with it, short learning curve,FREE! ;D
Here's a review from this sight;

I notice JBM gives drops and deflections in true minutes of angle, not the more common 1 inch at 100 yds.
