I will mentor anybody willing to do it, reloading that is.
Recently I got to talking with a co-worker. He had at the time, an ar-15 of some sort. He complained he couldn't afford to shoot it like he wanted to, the ammo was too costly. A young family man with the challenges of modern day life, never enough money. I said he should get into reloading. He sold the ar, bought a Savage bolt gun in .223.
I gave him a few of the loads I had made, 60 gr. Hornady v-max. He tried them, said they were the most accurate of all that he had tried. (Okay I know all about the risks of giving away your handloads, But I've been doing this for a very long time, and I trust him.) Then I gave him some 69 nosler match, they also shot good groups.
A couple of months pass, he comes up to me, said his dad had given him a lee "C" type press. He asked what else he needed to get started. Also said his wife and him were expecting their second child! I made a list, using lee equipment, and he said he could scape together enough funds to do it. (We are real busy at the axle plant, plenty of overtime available).
He made an order to midway for a lee breech lock challenger kit. Mounted it to a table in his basement. I knew he had blown his wad on the equipment, so I made up a care package of 20 WW-sr primers, 20 nosler 69 match HP, and about 1/4 pound of benchmark powder.
Cut this shorter, he shows up a couple days ago with a stack of targets. Nice round groups with the 69 noslers, the lower loads were all under 1.5 inches, with the near max going into ¾"!
He hooked!
You couldn't have gotten that smile off his face with 80 grit sandpaper. I just hope his new child is a boy,(he has a 5 yr. old girl), he surely will bring him up as a shooter/reloader.
