Eight years ago, on election night, rather than being depressed by the results i decided to take my then three year old out to the garage and start to teach him how to reload. I posted it here on this old thread: www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/heres-how-i-spent-the-election-night.404108/When we finished, I figured I would save those loads to fire in freedom or in the defense thereof. Well eight of the longest years of my life have passed and it appears that freedom is again on the horizon. So I went into my ammo locker, loaded up my now 11 year old boy and decided to go shoot that ammo. He has come so far in these last eight years, from shooting BB caps, to .22 LR and now he shoots most anything. He was a bit hesitant to shoot .44 mags, but we only loaded them to about 2/3 power so he agreed to give them a try. Although I have several .44's, we decided to use my Ruger Redhawk. It was my first handgun that I got when I was 14 or 15. I saved up half and my dad picked up the other half for earning good grades. Here are some pictures from eight years ago and today:

I love a happy ending. Maybe a happy starting. Looks like both.

Great!!! My son was never really interested in handloading, but his kids are anxious to learn.
