Made this impact impression of my 450 bushmaster.

Yesterday my four year-old granddaughter, Lily, asked if we could make bullets. We went in the basement to my reloading room, and I set her up to resize 38 spl cases on my RCBS "o" press. At first she had trouble trouble putting enough muscle into it, but finally started pulling the handle all the way down, and sizing them all by herself. we went through about fifty or so cases. Next time we'll go through the rest of the steps; flaring, priming, etc.

So why does it matter? I am teaching this child how to process something in steps to get to a desired result (which is a life skill) but also that there is someone who wants to spend time with her, and show that she can be responsible and capable. This little girl will learn, as I did, that firearms can be a great learning tool, and that it is possible to know how to handle dangerous things responsibly.

WRideout. The best of memories are made this way!
My grandfather would take me along to shoot clays - me with a 32 ga double, him with his 1911! (he would easily outshoot me even that way).
My boys all love the reloading room and of course the fruits of our labours.

Great pictures, cwtebay. I used to take my three girls shooting when they were young. Now we all live in different states, but when we get together, it's either shooting or fishing.

I bought a bunch of composition books and started a fool inventory and consolidation of data . Holy Cow ! 58 die sets ! Where did all those FCDs come from ?

[LUCKYDAWG13]

I poured around 20# of 230gr boolits for my 1911 and then loaded 200 rounds of 45 acp

[Dieselhorses]

Nothing in the reloading room, but did scrounge another 10 lbs. of pewter. Paid $20. A little higher than I normally pay but on average I'm still close to $1.50/lb.

You know its pretty cool when you can fill up your powder thrower with HP38 at 5.2 grs and load an array of 45 acp designs! Ive stepped up to this weight and a lil beyond on the 185 gr hp MP mold, the 200 gr Lee SWC mold, 230 gr LEE RN mold, and the jacketed 185 and 230 and found 5.2 to be good. All group at 3 inches at 10 yards freehand out the ole Ruger P90.

Cast some Lee 90gr .314 Swc yesterday, today I loaded them in my 32-20 cases for my new to me vintage S&W hand ejector and my Colt Police Positive Special.

[Tom W.]

Sized & lubed some 165 gr. Ranch Dog boolits. Then I dipped them into JPW and set them out to dry. They should be ready to load in a day or two....

[15meter]

Craigslist cruising, found a P-W 800b and a Mec 650, both in 12 gauge. Picked them up this AM. Spent the afternoon cleaning the P-W. Just what I needed, two more 12 gauge presses to add to the Mec 9000 and 650 in 12 gauge I already own.

[robg]

Loaded 40 308 with 150gr leegc boolits over 18gr of 2400 .then cleaned my savage 116 .

[tward]

Cast about 150 of these, new mold dropping.315 which is perfect for my Colt police positive Special. I tumble lubed these and loaded them in my 32-20. They shot well at the range. Tim

Odd. I cast about 300 of this very same boolit today. Powder coated them, and sized them to .313. I load them in .32WCF using Titegroup. They shoot well in both my Colt Police Positive, and my Winchester carbine.
