    So after 5 years of looking and looking we will finally have a reloading demonstration at the annual NWI INGO/WINAMAC DNR Youth Event!

    One of our local members has volunteered to bring his his reloading turret press and set it up so the kids can make a dummy .223 round to take home with them. We are still working out all the details for the event. I figure that it might be easiest to let kids just seat a bullet on a .223 case and take that home (no primer/ no powder) vs deprime, flare and seat the bullet.

    So this got me thinking it would be nice if we had a video made directly for the kids showing them the entire process and then telling them that "their local instructor" will be gong into detail on the last phase (seating) with them. This way they have an understanding of what they are doing and what a real round looks like vs the dummy one they are doing.

    So where does INGO come into play?
    Well reloaders would one of you like to volunteer to "be the face" on the video and do it? :)

    Also if anyone can spare .223 brass that still has the spent prime in it so the kids can unprime it and then seat the bullet that would be great.
    NWI INGO already has the bullets for the demo.

    200 pieces should cover us.
    We had 130 people attend last year.
    We estimate 150 to 160 will come this year.
    Doubt everyone will want to try it.
    We got a donation of 500 berry bullets for the event already.
