Likewise!
I've always been ultra intimidated by loading my own rounds! I know that my mother and father in law both do. It totally makes sense long run money, skill, and supply wise. I too am lacking in the patience to grind curve! haha
I too don't make habit to bring these things up, unless someone starts talking about it with me. Somehow I figured our thoughts were at least somewhat aligned. I too am not affiliated with a denomination but believe in the word of God.
I was more than intimidated the first time I shot my first handloaded rounds. It would probably have been pretty funny to watch but it gets steadily easier as you learn and practice. The fear was extra warranted by the fact that I only used books and online resources. No mentor. I highly recommend finding someone willing to teach you and soak it up.
I'll be sure to share some of my experiences regarding handloading in the future. Maybe some video of @nateonsteemit and I shooting them. He's a self made student as well. Be warned: it's tedious and some parts are mundane but don't neglect your focus and by the time you start shooting your own creations, the thrill and pride of success will more than make up for your troubles. Be patient, methodical, and focused and you'll do fine! Worth looking into at least.
I have several that would show me the ropes here as well. I sure appreciate the offer. I know it's not common to have basements in TX, but most homes here in Alberta have them.. Ours is unfinished and so I need to develop plans for how to develop it. I basically figure i need it in four parts in addition to the plumbing being done.
A room for potatoes and the like
A spare bedroom
The gym room
and the hunting room. <- that would have to be where I'd do any dying. I'm not certain, but quite sure that you need to store it all under lock and key in Canada.
I haven't looked on Steemit yet, has anyone posted this type of info yet? Could be valuable information!
Yea basements are rare. Only common more north and east where they get the bulk of the tornadoes.
Didn't know you were in Canada. That's awesome. And it's a good idea to keep primers and powders separate and under lock/key even without mandate! Especially if you have little ones around.
I'm not aware of any other loaders yet but I'll be looking and keep you posted as well. And like I said, I'll be making some posts of my own going forward. You should lead the charge for other Canadians!
