Growing up dad was against me reloading, my dentist who I hated was the one who talked him into letting me reload and cast. He even invited dad and I to his home to teach me and let me load on his tools. When I was very young my 2nd dentist visit, (I learned from the 1st, they were horrible) I ran from the office and hid under the truck with mother and my dentist in pursuit, they pulled me out by my feet! Later after many laughs we were best of friends, due to the amount I shot he suggested early on I get a progressive press my STAR. All down hill from that, I used to save end flaps from primer boxes, the 1000 size, one time I had 38 of them from that press alone. working 2 PT jobs still in school to support my truck and shooting costs living at home still then.
