What skill level are your clinics suited for? I've been reloading for about a year (30-06, 223, 40, 45), but am completely self-taught. I know the basics, but know I have a TON to learn.

We do Newbies.   Pure Noobs.   We explain what a cartridge is.

You have survived your first reloads, which is akin to surviving your first week in close combat.

If you did that much, you now should be teaching others.

Each One Teach One.

What we do is simply walk folks thru the process pretty much stepwise, such that they can then go read the reloading manual and understand most of what they are reading.    We don't do reloading short cuts [we actually flare pistol brass] or reveal master tricks.   Just the basics.

You are already beyond what we do.

Now---go introduce Somebody to the Wunnerful World of Cartridge Reloading.

Neeco:

Unfy and I are working the Reloading Clinics as a scam to get us thru the Great Brass Cartridge and Components Crisis.

We tell guys to show up at the clinic and bring their brass.    Next, we take it from them, using Ugly Facial Expressions and Aggressive Body Language.   Then we send them away.

Works.   Where do you think I get all that stuff I'm listing here on the Forum??

We'll gladly take yours, as well.

Actually...........

I Won the Meek and Mild Marine of the Year three years in a row.

Once more, you get a ribbon.   Pink.

When they told me that, I got meaner.

Another Reloading Class Now Completed...........

Most of the .223 stuff we loaded will work.   [Never mind the other stuff we hid at the end.....]

Unfy came to Work His Magic, even though he was struggling with some serious back pain.    Dedicated.  Warrior.   A True Gem of a Forum Member.   You will want him on your raft when you ride the White Water.

Once again, dedicated supporters helped us to make this reloading clinic work.

Gotta mention Altheman2 once more.
And Gigabelly's USMC associate who donated some important components.
Neeco offered some backup if we needed it.
Oleshome created a CD-ROM containing a mountain of reloading data and gave everyone a copy, plus a special print copy for the clinic library.

Doggone, Folks are Nice.

We'll do another one when the time is ripe and the demand is there.   Maybe someday even get around to doing some shotgun.   Bring in the trap shooters.   D'ya hear that, DanW??????

Was a good class not that I expected anything different given the instructors.  Now, just have to sit there and reload a few thousand!  :)  Half the fun is looking forward to shooting them all...  Well, maybe not half!  lol  Thanks guys!  Once again, great class and well worth the time.
