I had to run up to Iowa for the weekend to attend a high school class reunion, and it happened to coincide with Mom's birthday. I stopped at Cabela's in St. Louis and picked up a Lee reloading kit for her so she can roll her own for the .45 Blackhawk. She used to do piece work in a factory, so reloading is a piece of cake for her. Here, she is resizing some brass.
Putting a primer into the primer arm.
Seating a primer.
Checking to make sure the primer is flush.
Cases primed, charged, and ready for bullets. Saturday morning we went out to the range and spent a couple hours teaching the basics of pistol shooting to one of Mom's friends and his nine year old son. The kid was a real natural with a single action revolver and not only did he amaze his father, I think he embarrassed him a little by outshooting him.
