[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1835942, member: 11132"] I was taught by my uncle who was a competition shooter military.and civy. I have taught all three of my daughters, my wife a few cousins. A number of friends. Been handloading since I was 12 so 36yrs now. I am also still constantly learning from others and very open to it. From time to time, I will scour over old forms and BB mail list; reading posts from a number of BR HOFers etc. Chat with shooters at comps. What I like about handloading is how its meditative for me. The outside world and its BS falls away. It's much more so with precision loading case prep etc vs pulling the handle on a 650 or 1050. The more I have to interact the more the benefit. I think its why I still like using my old 550 for range pistol ammo. I see many posts on numerous forums trying to do less for "time management" or "effort for return" reasons. I am just the opposite I look forward to anything I can do to make things more consistent. I enjoy the processes of handloading; yet still a second to shooting and distant to hunting. Still I look forward to it over many other things. I enjoy doing and finding ways to make more consistently equal ammo. Weight /size sorting cases and bullets, neck turning polishing, flash holes, primer pockets, primer sorting, annealing etc. I also find girls are way easier to teach and take instruction well. Boys today have way too much video game john wick want be attitudes. But I do find boys want to learn as they like the idea of making ubber deadly custom ammo. Lol. I figure I can help guide them to where they appreciate it in more mature ways Kid these days are so spoiled for choices unfortunately most of those are sitting in front of a screen be it phone or large flat screen.
