I'm hangin on to it, Gerber doesn't make it anymore, and it can fetch about $70.

If you buy a box of ammo for a gun you don't have just to show somebody the size difference to another caliber.

You can tell the caliber of an empty cartridge by feel.

If you don't even have kids yet but you catch yourself wondering how much ammo their future college savings account would buy.....they can learn a trade.

Also you start your 5 year old on sorting range brass.
By 8 they know the ins and outs of a single stage shot shell
reloading press. And by 13 you have them running the
pistol caliber progressive...

"Hey if you like shooting it you have to learn to reload it..."

True story.
My son class was discussing firearms and how many kids have shot, hunted
etc. we are rural so there were a good number of kids. My son said 3/4 of
the kids have guns in their homes.

Any way the teacher asked how many had shot a gun, hand gun, hunted,
etc. etc. as more hands kept getting taken down. Until my boy's hand was
the only one up. Teachers asked how often my son shoots, his reply, "We
it is close to becoming a chore..."
