    Sorry I am still trying to get past the idea that my wife would admit she had lost the bet. She would tell me it was my fault because I drove to slow after she was ready.

    put her on the machine. My wife likes to load her ammo, 45, 357 and buckshot loads. Next is to get her into the lead shed and start pouring her own. She just likes to shoot and make things so she finds it enjoyable. For me it's about her being self sufficient.
    Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H.L. Mencken

    The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.― H.L. Mencken

    Take her to the range and let her empty some cases for you. That will leave you more to reload and cast for. Dinner out is the safe bet though

    I can't speak for anyone but me, but I don't want the ol lady anywhere near my loading room! She's one of those constant cleaner uppers and insists everything belongs where SHE puts it! Play it safe! Take her to Dinner, tell her how good she looks and call it good. You'll be better off in the long run.

    Jailer, I need some clarification. A Yooper lives above the bridge, a Troll lives under the bridge. What is a Fudgy?

    I think I would agree with those who said throw the brass in the tumbler then go to dinner. The way I see it you may have won the fight but you'll lose the battle in the long run if yours is like mine! Plus you already got bragging rights.

    Nobody's asked what to me is the critical question - Does she shoot? If so have her load a box of her ammo. She will begin to appreciate what you do.

    Make sure you are there with her to see where everything goes! My wife had to clean my shop once years ago, after I had an allergic reaction to some exotic hardwood that I was using to make pistol grips. She had to remove all the dust from grinding the wood. In the process she moved/relocated everything in my shop. I did not find everything until years later when I had to pack up my shop to move!

    If you want her to keep helping, let her watch the process and see what she would like to do. Then branch out from there.

    And betting/arguing with a woman is not a good idea. Even when you win, you lose!

    Good dinner and good wine. You never win a bet. Just show you are a good loser.
