Here's how I spent the election night..

[ECVMatt]

Teaching my 3 year old how to reload...we made some .44 mags for the Ruger Redhawk and the Marlin 1894.

He had a blast and was very proud to be a, "Reloader Man".



Working the Lee handpress



Using a ladder to reach the bench



This is his first loaded round...

Have a good one,

Matt

Matt, your awesome.

 

[jackdanson]

hah, cute kid, looked like you were having more fun than me watching the news! Like the 2nd pic, he's really putting some muscle into it!

 

[armoredman]

Outstanding!

 

[cat9x]

awesome

 

[Matt-J2]

And here I thought my watching several episodes of Dirty Jobs was the best way to spend the evening.

I was certainly mistaken! Good pics, looks like good times were had. He certainly appears to be a happy boy.

Awesomely cute kid - this thread does a heart good. I too went and did something else - better than watching the train wreck unfold on tee-vee.

Good job for getting that nice young man involved in 'rolling his own' ammo. With the way ammo prices have been going lately, reloading is certainly an art/science that SHOULD be learned by all.

I spent election might by cleaning and lubeing everything in "Foggy's Artillery Locker".

Cool pics. My 4 year old little girl likes to help me reload.

 

[gregormeister]

Good stuff!!

 

[TheGrimReaper]

Now, that is awsome. Great way to spend time with the little man!

Second pic is a keeper

He's got that "Hulk Smash!" look all over him. . .

 

[transformerguru]

nice bonding time

 

[natlmatch]

They should do a story of you in American Riflemen! This thread makes me happy.

As so often California shows the way forward. The rest need only catch up.

Your joking, Right?

 

[LemmyCaution]

Great photos. I love his war face. And keep up the good parenting.

 

[Prepster]

It always warms my heart to see a youngster that has been exposed to firearms outside of movies and videogames. Well done.

 

[Auburn1992]

Awesome job.

But kind of sad that he may not get to enjoy it these upcoming years

 

[Seafarer12]

Good job, I just watched Rocky 2

 

[paintballdude902]

good job dad ur a lucky man

i spent my night loading some .40s&w and some .45 colts

 

[Walkalong]

Good job. I reloaded a few rounds myself. It just made me feel better somehow.

 

[paintballdude902]

walk i know

it helps me calm down so i wasnt ready to punch someone when i went to get cigerettes

 

[foghornl]

One other thing, ECVMatt....


You ARE teaching that young man how to make the raw materials for reloading, right? ? ?

As in turning that nice freshly loaded ammo into empty brass again
