It still legal to teach someone under 18 how to reload right? I as talking with someone and they said "they have to be 18 to handle explosives", then I argued there is an amendment further in the regs that says must be 18 unless supervised by someone 18 or older".
My neighbor and his son want to start reloading and use my gear for the first bit. I am hesitant till I get some confirmation.
thanks.
 
Just my thoughts here. I myself wouldn't let anyone else use my stuff unless I was there and it was just to show them once, how to do it. Let them spend there own money on there own stuff like you had to. Seems there is just way to many bad things that could happen to them and then you would be responsible for it. Just my two cents worth.

I would suggest they buy their own gear and you get invited or invite yourself over and
give them a hand getting acquianted with their gear.
Or show them how you reload using your equipment.
Lending stuff usually makes for bad relations.
 
Would you just give them the key's to your car/boat/atv?
Show them, answer their question's and show your support.
If you just tell them to go buy their own stuff and they get raped they'll never look at you the same.
Be a teacher,not a know it all.

I am not aware of any regulation that has an age limit in regards to reloading. That being said, I have never looked for one either. My son started helping me when he was about 10. He is 15 now and does most of the reloading for both shotgun and rifle by himself.

Excellent advice, offer assistance and your experience, but not your gear.

I have not heard of any such regulation in the 50+years I've been reloading, and smokeless powder is not an explosive.

It certainly is treated as such by the government and legislation, regardless of the facts.

I started reloading my shotgun shells at the age of 14. No problems at all
I'm 55 and still have all my fingers and both eyes.
The guy that I bought my first shotgun loader (Lee Load-All) from sat me down for 1/2 hour and showed me the steps.
 
thanks for the replies, but I guess some of you figured I was gunna give the kid the keys to my place and he could "have at'er".
The plan was that I would show him how to reload, then he could reload the first hundred or so. Then he and his dad could get their own gear.
