Explaining the difference between presses

[robg]

dont you love it when you try to show someone how to do something and they then tell you you're doing it wrong.

[Alferd Packer]

Some reload for themselves,
Some reload for others.
It never changes,
till the others learn to think and do.

You can lead a horse to water...

Oh, I have one better than that!

This “squirrel” goes to any number of contacts and asks for advice. He chooses the one that suits him (always the quickest short cut under the sun). He makes a second and third run to everyone with an opinion and tries to get each one to change their advice to conform to the dumb cluck that he favors!

No matter the subject: mechanics, horses, reloading, guns, it’s always the same, trying to turn a sows ear into a silk purse.

But he argues with the givers of sound advice on and on and generally in the end, he does it in stupid mode!

Another member here and I talked him into taking up handloading and we wish we could un teach him, Ie. erase his memory of it but the monster is out of the bag!

Let them do their own work by getting the necessary reference material and reading it for understanding.

Probably this is best. I realized the other day that I knew a lot about reloading and that nobody taught me any of it. The vast majority was learned from books long before the internet or You-Tube, although I have continued to learn new things from these sources. I found that if you were really interested in learning the subject that the information just flowed into you almost effortlessly.

Of course, I guess that there will always be those who won't make the effort.

I learned most of what I know the old fashoned way, reading what I could on the subject. All of a sudden somebody ( Al Gore ??) came up with the internet and learning became much easier.
