Have you watched the video of the reloading class put on by a couple NFOA members?  Pretty sure I posted it here on the forum.

I will allow myself one personal observation. If you want to disarm yourself, that is your choice. The following quote is a favorite of mine and something to keep in mind when you make that choice.

I would consider it if you were an NFOA member

Has there been any thought to another reloading class for this year? I am in the process of picking up my press and other gear and would love to see this class in person to make sure I am on track.

We..............

Should all get working on Shooter to do the next reloading class.

Because,

(a)  He's located in Lincoln,

(b)  Lincoln hasn't had any reloading classes yet,

(c)  Shooter has reloaded more cartridges and more calibers than anyone else on this Forum, and

(d)  Shooter knows more about cartridge reloading than anybody else located around these here parts.

So...............

What if we somehow should lose Shooter.........?

Then Who would carry on in his place?   Think of the reloading lore and knowledge that would be forever lost.

We need a buncha Shooter Disciples out there spreading the reloading gospel.

We do.

My father and I are getting started in the whole process. I have a friend that walked me through it and had me making rounds, but that was last year.  My father has no experience at all.

I would love to have a chance to sit down and have someone walk through the process step-by-step much like the I had last year, and have my father actually see the process in person.  I am also looking for those nuggets of knowledge that come only from years of doing it.

I have 50+ years of reloading shotshells, rifle, and pistol behind me and I'm willing to help but I am 100 mi. N. of Omaha. If I can do something, let me know.

 Im up for having a class of sorts,   I have been reloading  about 50 years, load 78 different cals,  cast 45 different bullets.   Omaha would be better, but can go to Lincoln ,  good time to do this, winter is just going to start ,maybe right after Christmas,

It is quite likely I would have 2 people for a class you put on as my father and I are just getting started and it wouldn't hurt to have more info as we go.

It's my deep regret to announce that the original poster of this thread, Fb7782, became suddenly and seriously ill shortly after the date of posting.

He subsequently died within a very short time from complications of what turned out to be two serious terminal conditions, either one of which would have been fatal by itself.   He is no longer with us and will be missed by this Forum.

The moderator of this Forum (who personally knew Fb7782) has been informed.

FWIW,

So very sad to hear that, thank you for the update, SFG.
