We’ve been reloading shotgun shells for the upcoming season. I was pleasantly surprised when Sam watched me for a bit, then said, “Oh, I know what you’re doing. You’re taking the old ones out and putting the young ones in, so you can shoot.” For a five year old, he has a very savvy technical mind. It was a lot of fun to reload with him. I look forward to more reloading and especially more hunting with him. This last weekend he went with me and walked at least two miles over rough country after blue grouse and was a champ.
Ps. I am always looking for quality 16 ga. components and good well rounded recipies to try. One of my favorites is a chukar load with 21 grains of Herco powder that seems to be well balanced, as it crunches birds.

Great way to start them young! Good for you for having saftey glasses on the both of you. You can never begin safety too young and it’s great your setting the example yourself.
What brands of hulls do you use for your 16 ga?

Quality 16 ga. hulls are hard to come by. So far the best hull I have found is a low brass remington hull with a plastic base wad. They load well, but their life is limited.
