The dreaded "Is shotshell reloading worth it" question

[Big D]

An Air force pilot who showed up in our deer camp one year claimed "I never smoke within 24 hours, or drink within 25 feet of the airplane". He didn't draw a sober breath the whole camp.
The only worthwhile thing he did was give us an outstanding recipe for a sweet hot mustard which I still use today

I, too, regularly have a pipe in my mouth while loading, but my 600jr spills powder each time I drop the shot and the powder keeps landing in my glass, so I don’t drink and load anymore. In 45 years of using 600jrs, I’ve never double dropped a powder charge. The old Lyman press was not a safe press because they used separate charge bars.

Did you consider moving the glass?

Brilliant! See, This is why you're management. I would, however, have to learn how to sip a whisky with my left hand, and that's never worked in the past.

If one grew up in “The South” in the 60’ or 70’s one was rather adept at drinking two handed ! And that was while driving a vehicle . Fifth of Jack in one hand and a bottle of chaser in the other
