Hahahahahahaa. I’ll bet Zed uses recycled lead tire balance weights for his hard cast boolits. GREAT way to recycle and keep lead out of the environment (temporarily).
And Skye would absolutely hit the roof. Now THERE’S a sight I would pay good money to see. Drag up the chair, bring out the popcorn, pop open the brewski, light the cigar, sit back, and watch the fireworks.
Maybe. . . . . just. . . . maybe. . . Skye would get so mad, she’d leave. Now THERE’S a happy thought.

If Skye left knowing what Zed was doing, she’d bring in the authorities. By her lights, teaching kids handle guns is massive child endangerment if not abuse.
I’m waiting for when grandma and the babies show up. Politics is one thing, but Skye’s attitude (or lack of one) towards her children is appalling. I can’t think of any mom (regardless of politics) I know who could bear to be parted from her babies for even a few hours, yet Skye leaves her kids behind for days or weeks without a care.
Grandma almost-certainly will have a few choice words about that.

No, the reward for a job well done is to become expert at it, by doing the job well repeatedly. Zed understands.

Balance weights? Check. About 500 pounds in Dad’s garage, cast in Mom’s best cupcake pan (she was not happy about that appropriation). A full “cupcake” is about 2 pounds. Spent way too much time over a hibachi grill (and Mom’s old hose-based hair dryer) helping with that project.
Mari needs to understand that straight-wall pistol loads are easy. I sure got bored churning out .45 ACP for Dad and that was on a single-stage press and old-fashioned batch processing, 50 at a time for each step.

I’ve had the basic “rock crusher” for many years. A friend of a friend passed and asked him to take care of some his stuff. “Hey can you use and entire “rock crusher” setup? I think it’s reloading stuff. New in the box. ” My grandson is now into shooting. Nice entry present huh?

Better to start them out on the slow, one-at-a-time single stage press. It teaches them to take care with what they’re doing.

Start them on a Lee single-stage. Cheap, accurate, and teaches them to focus on one step at a time.

Dienkes is right – Zed’s multi-stage press is the wrong color. It ought to be blue like mine. And, please, let it be the only progressive thing in his life!
Hey Chris, you think Dillon needs a new cover model for the Blue Press?
I agree with Mari. If she’d started with .38 Special, she’d have had crimp to consider, and thus case length, and thus the normal distribution of case length. Lotsa fun.
Outstanding educational material! Work them up to bottlenecks and all the details involved.

You have no idea how much reloading I did for my Dad. 12 gauge. (1971 Vermont Trapshooting champion handicapped division). Hercules Red Dot shotgun. Wow. Did I ever get into trouble with that shit. I ordered a Mark 2 pineapple grenade from The Shotgun News and blew it open in my Mom’s garden. I had to sleep in the woods for a week before the cops stopped asking questions about the French Canadian couple next door.
Good point. Skye is fields ahead of other “womyn”.

Skye, at one time, may have gotten a CCW, and bought (or more likely, been given) a pistol.
BUT, given her actions up to now, there is no sign that she still has either one. Or that she WANTS either one.
Soooo. . . count that time as a momentary aberration, a need of the moment, NOT a commitment to personal freedoms.
Skye is still Skye, a womyn’s womyn, a Libtard’s Libtard, a committed socialist and “progressive” (regressive). As useful as teats on a boarhog. She is a shining example of what NOT to do.
Hey Zed, you need a babysitter? I’ve got a couple hundred rounds of .338 Lapua Magnum I could use help on lol

What the Greenies don’t seem to understand is that we hunters/shooters were into the good stuff- recycling, nature management and preservation, the whole green bag- long before it became a PC “cause”.
The big difference is that when we addressed a problem, we cared about logic and results.
When they address a problem, they care about feelings and intentions.

Seems like with a place that big and lots of moving varmints, 50 BMG to feed the Barrett would be time well spent. Next lesson can be sighting in and calculations for shots over a mile. Great math lesson……
