UPDATED: He’ll understand better this season…

The sense of accomplishment that you feel when you kill a deer with a load that you made yourself. I had cleaned and prepped the brass, but he primed it, threw the powder, and seated the bullets on his own under my watch. I offered instruction, obviously, and setup and started things for him. 8 years old. Kinda cool if’n ya ask me.

6.5 grendel
Howa mini
Starline 1-fired brass
CCI450 primer
Tac powder
125 NPT bullets

love this. My kids all help load ammo down to the youngest who “lines them up and counts them in the plastic boxes”. Way better than them being on phones/tablets/tv.

He shot his first buck this morning, and was thrilled to do it with HIS ammo!

Trust me, I thought about this… but he won’t put the casing down

Awesome man. Happy for you and your boy. My boy was "helping" me load bullets right before my Wyoming trip, he's a big fan of seating bullets.

That's pretty damn impressive to say the least. Congrats to the young man and yourself.
