Martini Henry fun today

[TheDoubleD]

Did the same thing with my son. Taught him how to cast bullets and reload.

One day he cast up a coffee can full of .45 ACP's. Cool thinks me, save me some time.

Later, I see hinn diligently at work at the reloading.

About a week later I decide I wanted to shot some 45's and only could find empty brass.

I asked the kid about it and he reminded me I had told him if he wanted to shoot them, he had to load them.

Best I could come up with was "didn't I tell you, you had to check with me before taking the guns out to shoot?"

"Oh", he said, " you were at work, so I asked mom first."

What could I say. That was a nice advantage living there, we had a back yard shooting range.

The kid turned out to be a pretty good shoot. Glad he didn't get into Martini's back then. What I am saying. A couple of years ago when we lived back east and few miles from him, I was doing all the Martini loading.
