    won a bet with the wife

    i recently won a bet with the wife and now she must spend one hour with me reloading, trying to find "fun" things for her to do any ideas?

    depriming and repriming your brass. Or, after you deprime, prime, she can put in loading blocks for you. She can also help you straighten your work space.

    definately have her dump powder. especially if she is a great cook. a dash of this and a pinch more of that...

    or just be smart and take her to dinner at a nice restraunt.

    If I was in that situation I would have her either trim or lube rifle cases.

    To be on the safe side I would opt for the dinner mentioned earlier. Then she might want to help you and it would be more than just for an hour.

    I'd collect the brass you want polished, have her dump it in the tumbler, then go out to dinner.

    "She can also help you straighten your work space."

    Honorable sentiment, invitation to chaos. Just saying. (If you have the kind of wife who will put your keys or wallet in a "better" place to "help" you, imagine her loosed upon your components.)

    however if she gets on the badside ya could have her clean primer pockets

    my fiance loves casting but not loading

    I would say size and de-prime pistol cases with carbide dies (No lube on her hands) and then reload them. But only about 20-50 and she gets to shoot all of them. Then take her out to dinner.

    Trim cases and clean primer pockets while constantly reminding her that she lost the bet.

    I would be careful gloating too much on winning a bet against the wife.

    I would sooner wrestle a grizzly than really irritate my spouse. One can easily cause extreme personal harm, wounds, and even death, the other is a bear.
