You could have knocked me over with a feather.

We were downstairs putting away all of my purchases from Grafs and the wife said how hard is it to learn to reload. I said not hard you just need to take care. So she asked me to teach her to reload. She winked and said since she was 7 years younger she might need to take over someday.

Good ole Colorado gal ! roger

Careful, She might be running an intelligence operation.

While my wife has never shown a interest in reloading metalic cartridges, she has loaded a literal ton of 12ga ammo

That is a fact. Took me a second try but just had our 11th anniversary. Great to have someone that loves to shoot and hunt just as much as I do.

My wife of 24 years has just this past year shown any interest in shooting, loading and hunting

She's a keeper also

Mine just this summer got a job working in a hardware store that sells more guns and ammo than hardware. She told me it was time I teach her more about the hobby and has decided that it is also time she gets her carry permit and starts shooting more!

Love this line!

Hope for your sake (and of course the rest of us living vicariously through you) that it isn't too good to be true.....

I would have to say such initiative on her part should be well rerwarded

Cheers,

Use your wife for preparing the brass and as she progress, let her help with the priming. Thereafter ensure that your marraige is on a good standing before allowing her to through the powder charge!

When I met my wife 13 years ago she said she had always wanted to learn to shoot and hunt but her dad told her girls didn't do that. So 13 years later she had taken a number of elk, deer, hogs and been to Namibia and can't wait to get back. Almost to the point of needing her own safe.

She has always been interested in reloading but while I had retired several years ago she was still working 12-14hr days door to door. So now that she has retired she has TIME on her hands.

Based on how she approaches everything else I see her with a notebook and a step by step sheet for every cartridge we reload.

Right this sec she is watching DIY and reading my Nosler manual for a second time. No just the reloading pages but the histories on our various cartridges. She was wondering the other day if I knew if I could scan some of the pages to load to her Kindle. When I have my heart surgery in a week or two she will have plenty of downtime to read.

Yep a keeper.
