[QUOTE="DustThroughaFan, post: 2870894, member: 126551"] I've helped one person I know get into reloading. He's a creedmore guy and wasn't down to reload for a long time due to the availability of decent factory ammo. He always said he just didn't have time to reload, " I just buy ammo and shoot" Well, the more he shot, the more interested he became in reloading. He calls me up time to time and I see him at work occasionally and will offer advice on a particular subject or issue he's having. He's done well for no longer than he's been at it. He loads for just about all of his rifles and pistols now. I started out at 11 years old with shotgun stuff. I liked to shoot and grandpa had all the stuff. I'd sit I the garage and pull the handle on that mec press all day. At 14 I'd started reloading for my rifles, a 300winmag and a 22-250. Over the years I've inherited all my grandfathers (from both sides) reloading equipment. I've got two rockchuckers, an rcbs Jr and a lock n load AP. Several uniflow powder measures and three or four mec shots shotshell loaders in various states of repair. I really only use the Jr and one rockchucker and the AP now but I'm a pretty sentimental person and just can't bring myself to separate with the other stuff. One of my cousins sons has expressed interest in loading for his 300blk bolt gun and they're into shotgun stuff. I may get the chance to help him along in this stuff and I could probably get him setup with spare equipment I'm not using. He just turned 16 though so we'll see how long he stays interested. I'm hesitant to donate the tools if they will just be forgotten and left to go to waste. Like I said, I'm overly sentimental. [/QUOTE]
