The beatings will continue until moral improves and just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that "they" are not out to get you.
I'm sorry I understand you poll question but not the options?
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!
Men who don't understand women fall into two categories: bachelors and husbands!
I don't think you could have made it anymore confusing ? Read the question and look at the options ? ? ?
You might as well ask how many women change their own oil or how many men change dirty diapers (probably more actually) It is a rare women that actually does her own reloading. I know two. They' re actually very good but uncommon. Almost every other women shooter I know relies on their main squeeze to do the reloading chore or simply buys factory.
my daughter will occasionally give me a hand.http://

My wife helps and I enjoy her company. After 42 years of it she does a good job.
Interresting poll. I'll be watching.

My oldest (12yrs.) is gettin comfortable loading her 444brass shells for "her" 410 !
She got me to make it easy though ,I set her up with dippers for the powder & shot .
She does cut her own cards & does all the prep & loading to sealing herself !
She has her own note book & wrote it all down though !!!
We loaded some 243 ladder style for the santyclaws new 243 & the only thing she was`nt comfotable with was setting the seating die .
Bout got her trained to grab the glasses when she walks in though !!

I've never met a woman that loads. I'm sure they're out there, but I haven't seen one yet...

Heck, around here I can hardly find a guy that reloads much less a woman. I don't know what it is about this area but few guys reload but just about all hunt or shoot. I may have been able to get my youngest daughter interested when she was younger but I missed that opportunity.
I didn't vote in the poll. It didn't make sense to me.

I didnt vote, but tho my wife and daughters rarely do help me, they do know the basics and do reload pistol and shotgun ammo sometimes. Those are progressive presses and more fun.
They have all cast some bullets and worked the lube/sizer too.
All 3 of my daughters and my wife have reloaded their own hunting ammo and shot their deer with them.
I don't get it either. Apparently the women reloaders who read this poll should check female and the men should check male. Maybe it would tell us who reads the forum but I doubt that it will have much reflection on how many women actually reload.
Melting Stuff is FUN!Sent from my PC with a keyboard and camera on it with internet too.
Shooting stuff is even funner

My wife helps me with casting and reloading.

My wife does help pick up the brass and sort it - does that count?
I have known maybe half a dozen women who reloaded for the family. Best one was Mrs. Love - woman had arthritis but they had the reloading set up in the laundry room and she was loading for John while waiting between working the washer and dryer. He always had ammo to spare at the match. Another was a team effort with Husband, wife and daughter all doing their part of the production process, it went from one station to the next, piles of emptys to loaded rounds like clock work.
During WW2 my Mom and Aunt made ammunition for the war - my mom had to quit as broke out from allergy to one of the chemicals used and my aunt graduated up to Artillery fuse inspector. Does that count?

Both daughters and wife reload. Youngest is a shotgun NUT, oldest likes .22 hornet, wife had rather cast than reload. All " country girls".
I'd be much more interested to know how many women frequent this sight because they're interested in bullet casting or reloading.
Not counting those who may come here to keep tabs on husbands or boyfriends and such.
Strange as it may seem, I've often wondered what a womens view would be on some of the casting subjects that are discussed here.

Female, shooter, reloader...sooooon to be boolit caster.
I shoot pistols and rifles, and admit to liking the time at my reloading bench almost as much as the actual shooting part.

Ok, guess it is time to teach my 12 year old to reload and cast. She wants to learn but had planned to wait until I got her a rifle. She was supposed to get one for her 12'th birthday but we had some responsibility issues with her a few months before that killed that idea for a year.
She does enjoy shooting my guns very much especially the AR-15 and 1911...
