handloader

1. Someone who handloads their cartridges for firearms (shotguns, rifles, pistols, or revolvers).

   Their household subscribes to a monthly magazine devoted specifically to handloaders.

2. A firearm, usually a pistol or rifle, into which cartridges are loaded manually.

   So I told him he should ditch his handloader and get himself a nice autoloader, like an M1911.
