Two of the fellows I've helped with loading in the past asked if I would help them loading for new rifles. Josiah and Nahum drove down the two hour trip last weekend to begin the process of working up loads for their new 30-06 rifles. We did some work, but there wasn't enough time to get everything completed since they brought quite a bit of old brass they were given. Cleaning and prepping consumed their day last Saturday, and I had a full day on Sunday. So, they came down again this Saturday. We had a potluck at church, and after church we went back to the loading room. Noah, my grandson, asked to join us. It was the first time I've worked in the loading room in about a year. (That truck crash took something out of me.)
Here we are giving some instruction last weekend.
As I said, the boys returned this weekend and Noah joined them as we worked up a variety of test loads. Here are the boys at various stages of work.
Noah, waiting his turn:
Noah, priming for the 325 WSM (which he appears to have appropriated for himself).
Josiah had just finished working up his test loads for his 30-06.
Nahum, prepping his brass.
Nahum throwing his charges.
Now, when the boys come down this coming week, we'll spend a day at the range. I gotta' say, it is always fun to work with young men who want to learn. Nahum and Josiah are deadly serious about working up their loads. They are responsible for getting meat for their family. As some of you know, I've worked with these boys before to take moose for the family. We also loaded a number of 300 Savage rounds for Nahum.
Just thought I'd share with the forum.
