Give a man a box of ammo, he shoots for a day. Teach a man to reload, he shoots all his life.

Reloading components are what I asked the family to get me for Christmas. Expect many questions from me after the New Years.

Very neat that you taught him how to reload. Back when I was 20ish, a guy from work who would have been in his mid-40's offered to come over and help set up my reloading room ( I knew nothing about reloading at the time). He even welded up a metal bracket to attach to my bench for mounting the Rock Chucker press ( I still use that mount to this day). He taught me how to reload, and even went on my first deer hunt with me and showed me how to gut/skin/quarter and process a deer all the way to the freezer. We lost track of each other over the years, i'm now 48. I hope he is still doing well wherever he is.

Way to go, Andy! We all need to start doing things like this to ensure that our next generation loves shooting and will fight to protect the 2A.

If you can shoot for an entire day on a single box of ammo -- you're not doing it right! :-)

As it has been previously noted, Andy you are clearly a corrupting influence … :thumbs2:

I also am willing to teaching BASIC reloading for fellow shooters for free limited to DFW... :tiphat: A lunch afterward would be welcomed too.
