Reloading kit ( Portable )

Trying to get my boy, 27 into it. I need someone to take all this stuff when I'm gone. My first Grandson is 3 now so he may learn a few things in the next ten years.
I have mentored a young man and a locally notoriously good rifle shot. I taught him to reload, cast, lube, and size, then properly reload cast and he's now 20. I'll bet there aren't many 20 year olds these days that can do what he does. I think I need to put in writing that he gets my stuff.

SWEET! Trevor is one lucky kid! And You, Sir are also lucky to have him to pass it down to!

Our first GC is due in a month. His momma probably gonna hate me when I give him a gun and teach him to reload, etc! None of my five boys have taken it (reloading/casting) up yet...

Ben your a lucky man have your GS involved. I know some here have kids and G kids to shoot with, but many don't.

Since the virus is starting to be on the run, unless Bureaucrats get in the way. But my Grands are going to come up in July for 3 weeks with Mom, Talon will come for a week. My youngest G son is 8 now and will be teaching him to shoot while he is here. My daughter in law has more then passing interest, so could be fun.

I was about 30 when I first had interest in reloading. I was too busy with Fishing, water skiing, driving snowmobiles & motorcycles...to be thinking about shooting or reloading. I did get to shot a 22 once in a while, and there was the rare occasion of shotgun hunting with my Dad ...but that was such a small part of my recreation when I was young, a neat gift like Ben posted just would never have happened and likely wouldn't have been rightly appreciated by me.

I started reloading in 1959 at age 17. Nobody encouraged me or taught me. I liked guns and shooting and reloading was a necessity for me due to the cost of factory ammo. I think I was born with a rifle in my hand. I started shooting so long ago, I can't remember a time when I did not shoot.
