    Expressions of interest for a Wellington Reloading and Scope ring lapping 'Workshop'

    How many people would be interested in a get together at someones place to have a little workshop on reloading and to lap scope rings with the forums new Wheeler kit?
    The idea would be for those that havnt got reloading gear to come and load some ammo under supervision for their rifles.
    Between a few of us, we have most calibers covered die wise and number of presses/scales etc would be available.
    Primers can be supplied and paid for at cost, along with a range of projectiles.

    Also the forums new Wheeler Scope Lapping kit would be available, so anyone in the region could turn up and lap their rings and align scope

    Would get people together for a meet and greet also, and I'm sure there would be people who load their own ammo at home turning up for a meet also.

    Maybe a couple of jars afterwards?

    This gear would then be moved to say Auck, or Chch etc for the next one and repeat the process.


    So Wellington guys - who would turn up?

    Have one of those scope kits at work and use it a lot . Should be mandatory for shops to have one imho.

    Surprising just how far out some rings are.

    Will keep you posted on the idea - I'd like to have done it next w/e or the w/e after, but I may be called back to work and have no idea which w/e will work let alone which country I'll be in.

    The interest seems to be there, so I think we'll put it forward as a goer and sort a date out
