Gotta love kids. My daughter will tell my wife on me if I don't share my reloading equipment. She wants to play boolits too.

As grandparents you're officially allowed to spoil them.

Great photo of your grandson.The other photos are also great.Glad that we are getting the young involved in the shooting sports.
Here is my grandson Jake loading his first round.I thought I would start him out on a easy one to reload. It's a 6.5x55 with a 266324 plain base, and he loved shooting the ones he loaded up..................Terry

..........I'll add to that, their unusually sudden 'Worldlyness' usually applies to their parents more then their grandparents. A parent cannot be their child's pal. While as a grandparent you also cannot let them run amok, I do think grandparents are more pals then anything else. The the "Enjoy them now!" statement, I say amen & amen. Consider, they're only really children for maybe 10 years or so. The whole entire rest of their lives they're mini-adults and real adults.
My daughter is 31 now, and I'd give almost anything to have her be 3 years old again. There isn't anything sweeter then a 3 year old daughter gazing up at you and saying that magic heartmelting word, 'Daddy'.
How time flys. Spend as much time with them when they're small as you can. It's a fleeting thing.

Awesome thread! I can't wait till mine are old enough to help (and be productive)
To the OP, what are the HP boolits in the tupperware, LR corner of the pic?
Makes one sick, doesn't it? Well I don't care what the Nazis think, and no one here or elsewhere should let them dictate their actions. I don't subscribe to fear tactics. Who was it that said more people die from fear of getting ate by a bear than get ate by a bear?
Great pics, all, I have much to look forward too, wife and I haven't produced any yet but we hope to.

dsmjon :
Those are Lyman 358009's that are cast from my HP'd mold.
I shoot them in my 358 Win. rifles and my new Ruger # 1 chambered in 35 ACK Improved.
By the way, the 358009 hp is super accurate in my rifles :
