[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 2093046, member: 112192"] Skipped 5 pages of what was probably more people talking about how they must have 100% focus to dump powder and seat bullets. I used to watch TV during some brass prep and primer seating but don't anymore because I like the solitude of the basement, but I always have music on. Heck, I've also had a beer a couple times while loading. 😱 I'm of the same mindset as the OP, the powder dump and seating process may be the more simple of the processes. I'll typically check my chargemaster against the beam scale every 10-15 cases, same with double checking my CBTO measurements. Other than that it's just waiting for the throw to complete, dump it in the case and seat the bullet ... not really much there to screw up even with mild distraction. I wonder how many of the "I'd never watch TV" fellas have taught a young child to hand load, or had a young child "help" them load, that's way more distraction than any TV would give you IMO! I also do a single completed cartridge at a time. I know some people will charge all 50 cases and then seat all 50 cartridges, if I did it that way I would likely take steps to reduce distraction. I also never pause in the middle of a step, for instance if the wife needs me upstairs I won't let a powder throw sit in the pan or a charged case sit in the press ... I'll finish the case I'm working on and then stop the chargemaster so I know exactly where I need to start when I get back to the bench. [/QUOTE]
