It was my delving into reloading that got my father to rekindle his interest from his younger days in firearms. That was when I was in my late teens and still under his roof.
He dove in head first for a time, going as far as to obtain an FFL license. Sadly his rekindled interest waned after a handful of years.
The first rifle that he purchased was a Weatherby Mark V in .300 Wthby.
His first trip to the range with it and his own reloads, resulted in flowed brass to the point that the head stamp was only half discernable at best.
I wasn't with him, and the only explanation that I ever got out of him was that he had seriously overcharged them.
Based on the bruise he sported, all I could say was ... uh yeah!
He immediately sent the rifle out to have what I believe was called an Accu-break installed, and never shot the rifle again without having a shoulder pad strapped on.
I've yet to pull one like that knock on wood.... but some day it's bound to happen.
