I have never worn gloves while reloading. I usually do wear them (latex) handling my brass after coming out of my vibratory cleaner but after that there's no gloves for me.
I am sure to wash hands after loading.

First off welcome to the forum. Some very talented and informative people here. I do wear latex gloves occassionally for certain tasks. Usually when sizing/depriming to keep me from getting case lube everywhere and also when I'm cleaning brass. I think these two times is highest chance for lead exposure. But thats just me lol.

Ain't never heard nor seen a man wear gloves for reloading. I can't stand gloves for much anything beyond hauling firewood to prevent splinters.

There is no hellfire like a woman who has spit up across her face while you say hold on one second gotta wash my hands!!!
I am a scientist by profession so I wear gloves for half of my awake life, so it just feels natural to me anyway.

Thanks for the response. I wear them to keep brass and bullets from tarnishing. I tried latex but they were too hot.
I only wear them for brass prep and seating lead bullets.
I seam to remember a thread somewhere on here about some people wearing gloves on certain reloading procedures and depending on their reloading room ( humidity levels) environment to prevent static charge setting off powder. Couldn't hurt.
If I'm making ammo for "storage" or gonna be awhile before I shoot, I will give them all a final wipe down with a good rag for that reason.Thanks for the response. I wear them to keep brass and bullets from tarnishing. I tried latex but they were too hot.

Man hands. Soap and water.
Heck, I work construction, and I usually eat with filthy hands.

Good evening
I use leather gloves when loading a lot of cases with the Rock Chucker on the handel hand so don't get blisters. Also use these from Harbor Freight

Amazing deals on this Poly Coated Hi-Vis Gloves M at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.
and use "Finger Cots" a lot when prepping brass. Easy to hold brass and doesn't wear the skin off your fingers with not wearing gloves.

From the time my brass leaves the tumbler to the time it's put in a box as loaded ammo I don't touch it unless I'm wearing gloves. I use heavy duty nitrile gloves that are reusable. I do it to prevent tarnishing from skin oils.
