[QUOTE="winmagman, post: 421087, member: 1193"] This morning I was loading up some 243 ammo and my oldest (11 in Dec.) asked if he could help. Now in the past he has handed me bullets during the seating process or handed me brass while I was weighing charges, but he wanted to do the whole thing start to finish. So since the brass was already prepped and primed I walked him through the process of throwing and weighing the powder and then the seating the bullet and measuring the finished round. After the instruction session I turned him loose on the last 20 rounds while I watched over his shoulder, especially the powder throwing:D. I gotta say he did a fine job, not the fastest on the scale but I think thats due to the fact that I harped on how critical this stage was and his desire to get it perfect. As for seating his OAL came out on target + or - .001. He keeps this up and I'll have my own personal bullet factorylightbulb:D So how many of you guys let your kids pitch in while reloading and when were/are you comfortable turning the loose on their own?
