Hi Bill and Tommy,
Just wanted to say that I am interested in making it to one of your classes someday, but it won't be this one. Scheduled to work Saturday, wouldn't be able to get to your house 'til 3:30ish. Gotta make it ($$) while they're giving it!
I still haven't bought the reloading equipment, so it would only be an eye opener for me anyway. Not really worth your time. However, I will be seeking your advice on a setup, when the spare change allows.
For what it's worth, thanks to both of you for your willingness to have these classes. :thumb:

Ron questions are always welcome.
If you have machine shop time reloading is easy stuff.
It is just read, do alittle set up, follow the posted spec, and say in posted spec.

Curious about reloading, but don't even shoot enough right now as it is. :(

A sidenote, every time I see this thread title I think it says "Freeloading class." xD

Alright!
Got a previous reloading graduate returning for Bullet casting!
It's not too late.
Even if you dont plan on reloading, come on out and see how it is done.
You may want to reload someday.

Well it was a good afternoon.
Sindone, and Redrider showed up, and both being reloaders, we spent the day casting.
Everything from turning bulk scrap lead into ingots, then into bullets, then sizing.
Sindone went home with 140 fresh shiney 220g .45 cal bullets.

We then went and picked up a truck load,(yes truck load) of assorted reloading gear at a yard sale.
That should take a few days to sort out. :thumb:
