WRONG! The appropriate response (for me, at least)

Here is the response I most often choose
Quote:
Here's a list (primers, powder, brass and bullets). Bring them over to my house along with two Porterhouse cuts and a six-pack. I will show you everything you need to know and you can load them.

We will discuss the process and I will show you how I load some of mine (about 2 hours) then you can load a box of your own while I watch and the steaks are on a slow fire. We can enjoy the meat and the beers afterwards.
If I get tired of the beef, I will steer him/her towards his/her own press.

There are many ways to share.

If I don't feel like being a host, my reloading setup is completely portable. 3 toolboxes and a folding workbench takes two trips to the car and sets up in five minutes. But my student's shopping list will include the steaks, but I will bring the beer, which will be warm, knowing it will take until after the loading is done to be cool enough to drink properly.

Planning. As essential to loading as it is to teaching.
