Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA
So one of the classes we offer is NRA Metallic Cartridge Reloading. I am a NRA Certified Instructor for it. That class has all but died as a result of you tube. Students have Zero interest in paying for the class. While you tube will certainly show you how to do it there are a lot of nuances to loading your own. I strongly suggest to the folks that show interest to pair up with a buddy who has experience before you just jump in. Anyway, as a result I decided to break down my “road show” reloading bench. It allowed me to travel anywhere, setup, and have 1/2 the class reloading straight wall, and the other half loading tapered, then swap. Typically I did 9mm and 223. It was a very handy table as it broke in half at the corner and fit in bed of truck easy. This morning I broke it down and stripped it to consolidate and make it very portable. The orange version is, as was and the cutting board version is after. Now you can simply clamp cutting board to any surface and boom you are loading. I did it for one of our boys who is trying to start reloading on a young LEOs pay and raise two children at same time. He has very little time, no space and no extra money. I figure while this setup is fundamental at best at least it will get him going.
