Dumb ?

You will eventually get a rythm going and the loading will go much faster then.
I have loaded since 1968, thousands of rounds, and I still learn something every time I simply listen to what other experienced loaders say.
This is a great bunch to get help from, and as Jackie says we can at times seem rude. This is not intentional by most of us. I tend to give short to the point replies because I hate typing, and it suffices most of the time.
You did the right thing, if you have more questions don't hesitate to ask.
A lot of the advice seems to be common sense but a lot of it was gained through bad experience, I don't want anyone to have a bad experience with reloading or firearms.
 
Big Shurl, in the future, you'll start.............

out by throwing the cases in the tumbler when you walk in and put the guns away. Later, or next day/evening, you'll get everything out of the tumbler, wipe everything down & inspect the cases. Then you might decide when you'll load again. You may want to prime all your brass one night, and leave it in the blocks, mouth-down, till you come back. At that time, you only have to charge and seat, then package. When you "Batch It", it splits it up, you can go slower, get more done, and still have time to not be the one who, "always got your nose stuck'n them GUNS!!" :eek: Believe it or not, you can even have company over while the tumbler's running, put it in a cabinet on some closed-cell neoprene, nobody but the cat will know there's something going on.......;)
 
The best advice I can give to a new reloader is....

1. Write everything down in a log book.
2. Keep your press, shell holders, scales, brass, bench etc. CLEAN and organized.
3. Buy components bulk.
4. Scour this forum for reloading tips.
