Ya got me, Messy Bench Maker here.

[Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L]

I'm whatever  you call "enjoying turning primers, powder, and self-cast bullets into cartridges"

[Griff]

I fit under several categories... does that make me a multi-tasker?

Yeah, I fit most of them, too. 

[Rye Miles #13621]

Definitely messy bench maker, very messy!!🙄

[wyliefoxEsquire]

Yea, So.....What's new ?????

[Hoss]

Messy bench maker

prepper (I can shoot at current level for 4 years)

optimist I have dies & brass fir guns I don’t own-yet! 

[Blackwater 53393]

“Component Collector”  Is that the same as a hoarder??

 

I’m probably somewhere close to the “perfectionist” although I’m really more “just plain slow”!  I check my powder drop about every tenth round and and I weigh my shot when I’m building shotgun shells about as often.

 

I’m still learning how to use and adjust my new Dillon 750.  For a long time, I bartered to get cartridges reloaded or paid someone else to do it in a pinch. I always supplied all the components, but didn’t even own a cartridge press for years, and when I finally won  this one it was three or four years before I got around to setting it up! 

 

I’ve been reloading shotgun shells for many years.  I enjoyed doing those all brass shells by hand, but it’s even more pleasant since I inherited the CH4D dies.

[Duke Hunter]

Component collector and  Perfectionist.

[Eyesa Horg]

Because I'm rotating around 1000 brass for Ellie and the same for me, I mostly resemble the Procrastinator exacerbated by the Perfectionist! 

[watab kid]

my bench may be messy but there is organized clutter to the tinny space i have to work with - a B&D workmate with three loaders mounted to it , ill upgrade to a slightly larger if i get some more space to work in .....not real soon , i have components neatly organized on shelves in two other places ]closets] not real perfect but its all labled and works within reason , 

 

i load six cartridges , 12ga , 45colt and 38spcl and 4570 for cowboy , i load 455webley and 380webley for my collection of brit stuff , i have the ability to load 45acp , 9mmparra , and 357 if i chose but dont because of a well stocked inventory , i also shoot 556/223 and 762/308 but dont need to load for them either , i could if i took time to set up ;load everything , i just dont need to , thus a small setup in a small room , ,not sure what category i fall into , 

[Tom Bullweed]

I must be the Perfectionist.

I still load on a single-stage press.

I spoon my shot and all powder loads.

I enjoy building loads almost as much as I enjoy emptying the cartridges.

[Michigan Slim]

All of the above to some degree.

[Three Foot Johnson]

Put me down for The Prepper, The Component Collector, The Cheapo, The Perfectionist, The Optimist, The Scientist, and The Messy Bench Maker.

 

I've got a shooting pard who typically only loads for one match at a time, The Procrastinator... I've never understood why.

[Frontier Lone Rider]

I used to be a Hoarder with bunches of components stored in my reloading room.

 

Now, I find that I am actually a Prepper.  Good to know, but my wife's opinion is still the same.

Came here to describe myself as exactly that. 🤣

[Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life]

I am the “perfectionist” “prepper” with a little of the “component collector” thrown in. 
Small army? Ha! If I had been around Custer probably would have won!

If it doesn’t look perfect it ain’t! My OCD literally will not let me give up on something that could be better. 
As far as components go I had to put in heavy duty racking in the shed because my wife said our home was tilting towards the “man-cave” side and to get some of the bullet weight out!

YMMV

[Oak Ridge Regulator]

All of the above at one time or another

[High Spade Mikey Wilson]

I would be a Prepper......

[Badlands Bob #61228]

Component collector with a dash of prepper thrown in.  My reloading bench is usually very organized with everything in it's place.  

[Flinthills Dawg]

yes!!

 

[Chancy Shot, SASS #67163]

I must be a procrastinator, because my reloading desk is neat and orderly.

Chancy

why the box around the dillon press?

[Chancy Shot, SASS #67163]

It's a cheap inexpensive strong mount.

[Mack Hacker, #60477]

Where’s the press junkie. I load 3 gauges of shot shells and three pistol caliber brass.

 

That calls for three SDBs and 3 MEC 600 Jt’s.  
 

I just hate to swap dies

[watab kid]

im with you on swapping dies but for my 4570 im using a rock chucker - one at a time , i load ann my revolver and rifle rounds as well as my collectible stuff on a lyman orange crusher that is a sungle stage turret , 

the shotgun is different as my life has gone thru a number of changes since i started that - began with a hirnaday - went thru two mecs [both single stage and progressive] and now load with a ponses warne ----way overkill for where im at but ive yet to actually buy a single one of my presses so i dont care , i have great friends in the gun industry and in the gun writing industry , they have been very generous , the mecs covered 410 , 28 , 20 , 16 , 12 , and i loaded all a little - not like the trap shooters i know that load 10k+ but i have loaded that many 12s some years when i was shooting sporting and trap , 

 

so in some ways i think i fit that equipment catagory - even tho ive not loaded as many calibers/gages as some 

[Kirk James]

Messy, as long as the bullet goes ding I am good.  Well, as long as I do my part.  Less time testing and more time shooting.

[Dantankerous]

most of those...
