Learning the whole "actions have consequences" concept as early as possible is a really maturing
thing. As Ian said very well, mastering things that are dangerous if done irresponsibly or ignorantly
is a good thing. I remember a few times deciding not to do something, at a pretty young age, and
thinking, "I could really get hurt if I do this wrong, so I better not do it." One of the ways I learned this
was watching my father use his table saw, shaper, bandsaw and wood lathe. He explained what he was
doing, and safety rules. It made a big impression, and I applied it in other areas.
I am certain that Ben and Trevor will work this out in a good way. And he still has plenty of years left to
learn. I did my first reloading at about 16 or 17, under tutorship of my neighbor, who had some Lee Loaders.
I saved up (from my $0.75/hr chicken farm job) and bought a 7x57 Lyman 310, and started working on it.
Trevor has infinitely more tools and skills in his mentor's reloading room, and will learn it soon enough.
