Thats some good advice for all to follow.

I had to learn from the school of hard knocks on that one, I had a friend take me for a ride last year. Long story short I loaded 100 rounds of 7 mag (I choose a safe mild load) for him and he wounded a buck and then blamed it on me/my reloads. I will not make that mistake everagain. I'll let friends use my equipment with me present but never again will I just load up a batch of ammo for a friend. Now family that is a bit different but still I think I will ask for some help with the caseprep and try to teach them the other steps so I don't have to do it all for them time after time each year.

One other thing I am finding out real quick and that is reloading is as muchfun as the amount of quality equipment that you own for each chore. Forexample I used to hate to trim and deburr cases but now I own the RCBSTrim Pro PowerCase trimmer along with the Trim Mate case prep station. So its no longer a chore so to speak and I look foward to it almost as much as I like seating bullets. The thing I find that I dislike the most is dumping powder, and the reason is becaue I always worry that I will make a mistake. I do the have RCBS Power Pro dispenser and 1500 scale (upgraded by Pact)and I should just trust it becaue its very accurate. But I don't when I amloading upmax loads or just above book max. So thenI also hand weigh each load onthe 505 balance beam scaleafter the dispenser dumps it out onto the scale pan of the 1500. I know this is a unnessery step and I don't do it when I am choosing a milder load,but I guess this is my verson of double checking myself. Another thing I do to doube check myself is to weigh the completedrounds when finished to check for flaws/mistakes. Just last year when I was trying to help a family member reload some rounds and we somehow skipped over a case when we were dumping powder. We quickly found our mistake when at the end we were weighing each round. It was 70 grains off the other rounds so we knew something was wrong.
