    Awesome!

    I'll have to give you some bullets, powder and load data to have him load up a bunch of 109g frangibles in .308. Then, he can link them up and run them through my 1919!

            Awesome! I'm teaching my 3 year old what all the different components are and that the finished product is a cartridge. He's catching on. haha

            How do the 168 grain Sierra pills shoot? I just ordered some 168 grain Hornady pills to try out for my .308. Have you used both? If so, any differing results?

                Nice.. Actually, I did not make my daughter to reload for me, but I bought 2 Glock 19 Gen4s with consecutive serial number and gave one to her as a gift when she graduated a corrections academy.

                      Need to be very careful when the junior helps to reload. Actually, I have a Perazzi shotgun which blew up when a shooter used a reload that his grandson helped to reload. It is not a pretty sight.

                        Looks like you have your own mini sweat shop going on there. Good dad and son time there.
                        That seems like a pretty mild load. Where did you get your data?
