Ben, I look at it his way.
You know him quite well. You know his strengths and weaknesses. If you feel he is ready than I would be the last person to question it.
There is no way you would let him do something where you felt the risk of injury outweighed the benefits.
Trust is a big deal with kids. I developed it with my daughter and if I told her she could handle the gun and recoil the she trusted me. It was all because she knew I would never put her in a position to get hurt.

Good stuff guys....

S Mac hits on the appreciation factor once ANY handloader gets that point on the time vested loading vs unloading.

Brad,the "trust" factor is huge.... may not show up with youngins,at first.... but down the rd when something big is looming,believe me,this is going to pay benny's.

Ian,the lack or missed opportunities from "protected" childhoods is,IMO is a complex component that honestly, child development is skeer't to delve into.... mainly because of their "own" higher ground positions. Seeing children raised in violent urban neighborhoods yet still exhibiting thoughtfulness and caring is a HUGE demographic that never seems to get any press? Along with all the little "hillbillies" running around in the country,unprotected,throwing rocks at each other.... skipping and laughing all the while. Fascinating stuff.

Ben,
That is the LEE turret press ...correct?
Got to get me something I don't have to constantly screw dies in an out of!
( After my CT surgery on my right hand that one thing that is a bit harder to do anymore! .......Also ladling alloy into ingots is not easy)

Jim,

I like mine a lot. That it can be used in single stage mode -- as in Ben's video -- as well as auto indexing, makes it very versatile.
Because the turrets' height can vary round their perimeters, I use a Sharpie to put a witness mark by the hole that will be station one, on the turret that is not dedicated to any cartridge.

Good stuff Ben and Trevor. My Grandson still has a few years before he is ready to shoot but I'm already on the lookout for a rifle.

You're on the right track, Walter.

See, you should buy your grandson a rifle NOW, and spend the next 10-15 years.... erm....."working up the perfect load for it".;) I built my daughter a levergun from the rusty old Savage her grandfather left behind, and am currently pondering the next project for our unborn son. With some luck, the guns won't be completely shot out by the time they get passed to their intended owners.

Man, it really warms my heart seeing this. Such a contrast to the "young" population now-a-days that don't know how to fix even "small" things in the house, or easy DIY plumbing stuff, putting a plug on a tire to repair a flat tire, or replacing a broken sprinkler head, etc.. - you know what I mean. Many of the young folk I work with have everything done for them, book-smart, etc., but can't help do hardly nothing with their bare hands. Yet seeing Trevor here learning stuff brings a ray of hope :)

While I would recomment a simple C press for most beginners,
I believe that under Ben's guidance the Lee Classic Is just fine.
Trevor is in all honesty getting quite probably the finest tourtoring
that anyone could ask for. He is also becoming a young man who
will have endless memories of a great grandfather..
