Everytime there is a ammo shortage, I get approached about reloading. Everytime I’ll spend the time to explain as much as possible, regardless if it’s at the grocery store, youth sporting event, dinner party.
It always includes an invite to the house to show the process and the offer of a reloading manual to borrow with me telling them to read the 1st 50 pages before they purchase anything.
I’ve only had 2 people take me up on that offer. Each time it was 2 hours. Prepped a few pieces of brass, loaded a few rounds on the Rockchucker. Then let them run a few rounds on the Dillion. Then go outside and shoot a few off. Then explain the differences of loading for rifle. One walked away with a manual, the other lost interest before he left.
The guy that took the manual, returned it a couple months later. Then told me he had finally found factory and the initial cost of reloading wasn’t worth it to him.
I’m curious how many of you have mentored someone in the hobby of reloading successfully?
PS: I wish I had a mentor when I started.
