One lady I shoot with, she is a F Class woman's champion, her husband does all the reloading.
Ask her a question on "how did you get that mount to fit"?, she does not know. Her husband does all the gun work. All she has to worry about is sight alignment, trigger pull, and wind. She knows she is lucky.

I'm a woman and I reload. Although I have also gotten some strangle looks when purchasing reloading supplies. Even a few off the wall comments about how I don't look like the reloading type. Sorry, but I can't afford to shoot without reloading, plus I'm more accurate with it

I met a nice woman at the range a few months back that reloads about 20 different calibers (hell of a lot more than me). That day she was shooting her antique military rifles.

my grand-daughter is nuts about reloading
My nine year old grand-daughter is nuts about reloading. Every night we work on something together, Tonight we tired out the new tumbler and a new case sizing tool. She's got the whole process down pat. Working up a batch of about 160 rounds of .243.

My wife is an IPSC class B Production shooter, and I feel lucky when I can convince her to fill some primer tubes

My wife has been known to load a couple hundred .45 acp on my Dillon 550 from time to time.
More often, she lets me do the loading, and then she burns 'em up. |

Ms. M&P knows how to reload her own if need be. Though she is not crazy about doing it. She can. If it comes to reloading she says something along the lines of the knuckle dragging ape of boyfriend she has to do all of the reloading for her.

When my Pookie was growing up, Punishments consisted of Groundings and "Quality Time" with her Father.
We can not reload or cook in the same room at the same time, products called Thingy and Domaflotchies I find are often hard for me to locate. I have the utmost confidence in everything she loads. In Retro, she must have screwed up a lot growing up. |

doesnt the usda/american medical association discourage women from handling lead products due to lead contamination and possible birth defects? i know a label like that can be found on some lead fishing weights.

I want to see pics. I want pics that show what I've always suspected: that Blue Press are lightweights.

My lady loves to shoot, and just started pressing her own rounds of .357 a bit ago. It's a good thing

women and reloading
I never mix the two... period!
Seriously though my daughter will be working on loads for her Savage 116, .270 win. She's pretty smart about her rifle and her shooting, she's taken a couple of bucks with her old .243 win, so she gets excited when I mention it's time to load up some data test loads and get busy finding "The One".

Don't look like the reloading type?
The folks I buy reloading components from generally have no idea what it takes to reload, let alone what a reloader looks like. Gotta admit most women shooters I know are smart enough to have someone load for them or a sponsor to buy ammo for them. They probably could, just a little smarter than us guys.

I am lucky to get my wife to even carry a bag carrying a 1 lb can of powder. She wants nothing to do with shooting, reloading. But something goes bump in the night she will tell me "get a gun anf check it out". Some guys are luckly to have there partner involved in their hobby. She quilts, I shoot.
