Team Reloading

[Tweeder74]

I am wondering about any foreseen problems if I were to allow other people to use my reloading machine to load their components.

Hi! Welcome to Calguns!

It would be very cool to get together with some friends for a reloading party. Maybe one brings brass, another projectiles, another powder and another primers. Share what you have and load a bunch of ammo.

I personally would not loan out my tools to anyone. Back in my car days, some borrowed tools got broken or never got returned.

Are you asking about problems as in liability, or as in Bubba treating your equipment like his red-headed step child?

Talking, watching new TV shows, thinking about projects, sure way to make mistakes. I listen to music or old TV shows only while reloading.

Letting someone knock out their own rounds is probably not an issue, I'd leave them alone though.

Thank you for the input guys. Mainly was just asking in concerns about any legal liabilities.
I figure anyone that would use it. Would get a quick training course and I would make sure they know how to use the equipment.

I was mainly just wondering to see where the lines were.

And I agree with you Tabascoz28. I run a progressive and so I try to limit the amount of distractions while I load.

Not my cup of tea !
Only person in my reloading room is me! Only sound is XM RADIO 50's/60's and leave me the f**k alone. 1-2 hrs of my world, my enjoyment !!!!

I'd allow exactly three individuals to use my reloading gear. One is the guy who gave me his Rockchucker, the second is the fellow who showed me how to use the gear and the third is a friend I've known for almost forty years who is exceptionally careful.

Liability if THEY get hurt is one issue. Properly caring for your tools is a second issue. The risk to you and your property if they decide to start "experimenting" is a third issue.

IMHO a "quick" training course takes more than a few minutes.

Reloading isn't inherently dangerous but things can go bad in a hurry if someone isn't paying attention or doesn't know about the one-powder-on-the-bench-at-a-time rule or decides to wing it on recipes or...

My press my rule: We don't talk while loading !

I have no issues with friends using my stuff with me there but they normally buy lunch and throw down for any wear parts
